My use case is quite simple; I always call .fetchall from a ResulProxy,
so all data is in memory.
I don't see any reasons why a RowProxy should not be pickleable in this
case.
I have tried with SQLAlchemy 0.4.2p3 (the version I'm using in
production, and I get this traceback:
http://paste.pocoo.org/show/144372/
I have to say that I don't understand the error.

If there is no simple method to pickle a RowProxy, then I should create
a custom driver where the BufferedColumnRow is used.
I have not checked the sources, is it possible to create a custom
database driver as an external plugin?
Note that I need to use pickle only in a testing environment, for a web
application.
The reason is that I have a resource "rendering" function that, in a
testing environment, pickle the content of the Mako context dictionary
and return it from a WSGI application; then this data is unpickled so
that a test case can easily test the application.
Thanks Manlio Perillo
