Thanks! That helps a lot. PEP 307 and the pickle module docs describe the end
result pretty well, but they don't always make it clear where things are
implemented. I'm trying to make sure that I'm getting the right interaction
between object.__reduce(_ex)__, pickle, and copy_reg..
One (hopefully) last question: is object.__reduce(_ex)__ really implemented in
object? The tracebacks below would indicate that pickle directly implements the
behavior that the specs say is implemented in object. However, that could be
because frames from C code don't show up in tracebacks. I'm not familiar enough
with CPython to know for sure.
>>> import copy_reg
>>> def bomb(*args, **kwargs):
... raise Exception('KABOOM! %r %r' % (args, kwargs))
...
>>> copy_reg._reduce_ex = bomb
>>> import pickle
>>> pickle.dumps(object())
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 1386, in dumps
Pickler(file, protocol, bin).dump(obj)
File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 231, in dump
self.save(obj)
File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 313, in save
rv = reduce(self.proto)

Oops. :)
Again, thanks for the help.
