pickle stores classes by storing their fully-qualified name (eg.
"foo.bar.Baz") and NOT by storing the internal Python structures that
represent the class (as there are apparently various problem
associated with this). So when it unpickles, it just imports the
fully-qualified name normally and returns the result of that.
Since dynamically-created classes have no fully-qualified name, they
can't be stored this way; hence, you get an exception when trying to
pickle.dump() them.
Also, you shouldn't use `classobj` as I believe that's only for
old-style classes, which are being phased out. Its replacement is the
built-in `type` metaclass, which creates new-style classes.
Cheers,
Chris
