I stumbled on some weird pickling behavior that after some non-trivial debugging time turned out to be caused by __getstate__ returning an empty dict for some instances. As I found digging through the docs (http://pythondoc.kldp.net/lib/pickle-inst.html), surprisingly __setstate__ is not called nor new style instances if __getstate__ returns a false valse, without any further justification. Any pointers on the rationale for making a special case just out of the blue ?
