I'm guessing that configuration and build_steps are supposed to be instance
variables, not class-level variables. It would be interesting to see what
your __init__ method looks like. I'm guessing you assign something the
self.build_steps in __init__, but self.configuration is omitted.
Try moving these initializers into the __init__ method, as:
class subproject:
def __init__(self):
self.configuration = {}
self.build_steps = []
and see if pickle starts behaving better.
