Right now my cheap workaround is to define a function that saves the instances __dict__ using json, and to recreate the object, I create a new object using the __init__ method and cycle through the rest of the json keys and apply them to the new object using setattr. It's a quick and dirty hack, but it seems to be working. I do have to make sure that everything that lands in the instance's __dict__ is serializable, but that's not so tough. I need to add a version number, though. Good idea, that. Josh -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
