New submission from Michael Yang <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

# pickle.dumps is not able to process an instance of
# a class that inherits from 'dict' and
# overrides the built-in __getattribute__ method
# but can successfully process one that 
# overrides the__getattr__ method

>>> class Examp1(dict):
...   def __getattr__(self,name):
...     return self[name]
... 
>>> class Examp2(dict):
...   def __getattribute__(self,name):
...     return self[name]
... 
>>> ex1 = Examp1()
>>> ex2 = Examp2()
>>> ex1['aKey'] = (3,4)
>>> ex2['aKey2'] = (4,5)
>>> ex1
{'aKey': (3, 4)}
>>> ex1.aKey
(3, 4)
>>> ex2
{'aKey2': (4, 5)}
>>> ex2.aKey2
(4, 5)
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.dumps(ex1)
