Hi, It seems to me that it's not possible with the pickle module to serialize a class rather than an instance, as in
>> from pickle import * >> >> class C(object): >> "... doc ..." >> a = 1 >> >> pickstr = dumps(C) I mean, it does *something*, there is no error indeed, but from the string pickstr, I am unable to rebuild the class C in a brand new context (got a "you're really stupid, all you deserve is an AttributeError because you know there is no attribute 'C' in the 'module' object" error). Am I wrong ? Why would the "(new-style) classes are regular objects too" mantra not apply in this case ? Could we imagine a patch to the pickle module to handle this kind of situation ?
