It is in fact, a particular source of annoyance when the object is meant to be serialized to disk with pickle or the like, and especially when it is an extension object. A good idiom for "look me up in the source code after you unpack me" is required. I think some things like ZODB will already do that for you, but it seems basic enough that there ought to be a general approved method of doing that in Python -- you know, "one obvious way". -- Terry Hancock ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Anansi Spaceworks http://www.AnansiSpaceworks.com -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
