Question

We have an application that takes user data in C#, serializes it and puts it in a database.

I need to write an admin program in Python that takes that value and deserialize it. I’ve tried using Pickle but I believe the format is different, because I keep getting errors.

Is this doable?

Thanks!

Edit 1: The type is binary — here is the c# code that constructs it (where o is the object):

        using  ( MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream( ))
        {
            IFormatter myformatter = new BinaryFormatter();
            myformatter.Serialize(stream, o);
            return stream.ToArray();}

Use IronPython so you can just use the .NET framework, like you did to save the data.
