Pickling of "graph_tool.libgraph_tool_core.Edge" instances is not enabled

Hello,

I got this error when trying to save a graph to a file:

RuntimeError: Pickling of "graph_tool.libgraph_tool_core.Edge"

my code is:

filename = basename(outputFile) + '_' + str(cutoff) + '.xml.gz'
network.save(filename)

Hi,

Hello,

I got this error when trying to save a graph to a file:

[...]

RuntimeError: Pickling of "graph_tool.libgraph_tool_core.Edge"
instances is not enabled
(http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/v2/pickle.html)

Edge (and Vertex) descriptors cannot be pickled. If you have property
maps which store Edge or Vertex descriptors, you have to convert them to
int pairs (for Edge) or int (for Vertex), and then recover them later
with Graph.edge() and Graph.vertex().

Cheers,
Tiago
