msmbuilder.io.save_generic

msmbuilder.io.save_generic(obj, fn)

Save Python objects, including msmbuilder Estimators.

This is a convenience wrapper around Python’s pickle serialization scheme. This protocol is backwards-compatible among Python versions, but may not be “forwards-compatible”. A file saved with Python 3 won’t be able to be opened under Python 2. Please read the pickle docs (specifically related to the protocol parameter) to specify broader compatibility.

If a file already exists at the given filename, it will be backed up.

Parameters:

obj : object

A Python object to serialize (save to disk)

fn : str

Filename to save the object. We recommend using the ‘.pickl’ extension, but don’t do anything to enforce that convention.
