As per a couple of discussions online ( http://mail.python.org/pipermail/cython-devel/2011-February/000122.html), it looks like at one point it was pretty close to being able to programmatically and automatically generate a __dict__ for extension types like for CPython classes. I have to manually code a function that does exactly what __dict__ should do, and it is a pain. I have some classes with tens of attributes, and that is already a big enough pain. This is especially useful to more easily enable deepcopy and pickling for classes.
While on the pickling theme, it seems it really ought to be pretty straightforward to automatically pickle extension types. Don't you already have all the necessary information at compile time? This was on the wish list at one point if I am not mistaken and would be very useful to me and lots of other people. I'm finally loving coding in Cython and am finally making sense of how best to use extension types. Regards, Ian
