you probably want to use toMetadata() on them with a plain MetaData object so that the pickled stream does not contain any references to engines. then on the way back in you would call toMetadata() again with your BoundMetaData (or Dynamic, whichever you are using).
if anything itll be a great test for the toMetadata() method which doesnt have a lot of testing. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
