I haven't tried your code but I think that you may need to define a
__reduce__ method in your MyDate class in order to give a clue to the
python as to how to pickle its instances. For more details see:
http://docs.python.org/lib/node321.html
Something like:
class MyDate(date):
...
def __reduce__(self):
return type(self), (self.year, self.month, self.day)
might solve your problem.
