dill.dump_session file size

[adamhaber]

Hi,

I'm using dill.dump_session to save simulation results and it's working perfectly... the only thing I don't understand is the file size - the total size of my variables in the saved session (in memory) is <10MB, but the file itself is >500MB. Can this be related to the size of imported modules? Is there any way to bypass this? For example, for memory-intensive variables I'm not interested in saving I simply do var=None before dumping... Thanks!
