So, the __import__ in pickle fails -- indeed, __import__('foo') when 'foo' ``is imported from a subpackage'' is _supposed_ to fail, as 'hyper' is not the name you SHOULD be importing. For example, __import__('email.Encoders') is fine, but just __import__('Encoders') fails with ImportError -- there IS no toplevel module by that name! > I have noticed that the error does not occur, when the imported module > ('hyper') is in the same directory as the script that pickles.

If you can't fix the modulename given by your type, you can perhaps kludge things up by (e.g.) import the.real.hyper sys.modules['hyper']=the.real.hyper before you pickle; but I suspect UNpickling would fail in that case. Using the standard library copy_reg module to register your way to pickle and recover instances of your type might work better. Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
