Accessing complete type info in Python
I want to store instances of user defined types using JSON or XML. Is there any canonical way to do so in Python?
My original idea was to write a generic un-/marshaller, but information about types of sequence elements gets lost in the Python-Slice mapping, so I don't see a way to write a generic unmarshaller. Is there a way to find out the type of sequence elements without having a nonempty instance of the sequence at hand? A parsed representation of the slice definitions would probably do.

Hi,
The Ice extension for Python maintains an internal representation of the Slice definitions, but doesn't expose this information to Python code.
Another Ice user has written a Slice-to-XML translator. You could generate XML from your Slice definitions and then use it to drive your marshaling activities.
