You could also use __getstate__, __setstate__, but I'd try to work with
just __getinitargs__ first.

Ok I'll give that a whirl. I was hoping to avoid doing __getinitargs__() for each subclass as I have quite a few of them. If I didn't have a C++ base class then the pickling would just work as is. There's no way I can get back to that sort of situation with the C++ base class is there?

Thanks,

Subject: [C++-sig] Pickle python subclass of C++ interface

Hi,

I'm using boost.python. I want to pickle some python subclasses of a C++ base. The C++ base does not have any state, it is just an interface. Is there an easy way to ask the python pickling machinery to ignore the C++ base? I'm not sure if I should use the boost.python pickling support or go directly down the route described at
http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#pickling-and-unpickling-extension-types


Thanks,
John.
