After (intended/controlled) reload or similar action on a module/class
the pickle/cPickle.dump raises errors like
pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <class 'somemodule.SomeClass'>: it's
not the same object as somemodule.SomeClass
Cause in pickle.py (and cPickle) is a line
"if klass is not obj:"
Shouldn't it be enough to have "if klass.__name__ != obj.__name__:" there?
No. This would alias classes of same name, but living in different modules.
So at least you need to compare these, too. I'm not sure if there aren't
even more corner-cases. Python's import-mechanism can sometimes be
rather foot-shoot-prone.
=> a bug report/feature request?
Classes can change face anyway during pickled state, why should a
over-pedantic reaction break things here during runtime?
(So far I'd need to walk the object tree in all facets and save against
inf loops like pickle himself and re-class things .. )
If anything it's a feature - and I doubt it's really needed. Because
reloading pickles with intermittend reload-module-operations is to rare
a case to be really supported IMHO.
Do yourself a favor, write a unit-test that tests the desired behavior
that makes you alter your code & then reload. This makes the problem go
away, and you have a more stable development through having more tests :)
