I'm not saying this is wrong, but where did you find this? I don't find any 
such discussion in our FAQ (and I'm the most likely one to have written it).

Assuming this restriction is accurate, it may stem from our use of tvtk. This 
made sense at the time, but is an issue when trying to build a stack on 
anaconda, for instance. It would be better, I think, if we used PyVTK.

Looking back at your post from August, I think Daniel fixed this issue

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.fipy/3550/focus=3562

Currently available (and waiting for me to merge) here: 
https://github.com/wd15/fipy/tree/issue412-pickle_comm

Can you try again?

As I commented when you posted a few months ago, I *really* need to finish up 
my Xdmf branch. It's quite out of sync with current development, but it should 
be largely self contained and visible at 
https://github.com/usnistgov/fipy/tree/xdmf/fipy/io/xdmf. It might only work 
for Grid3D.
