It seems you used SWIG to create class B (or you use a library which provides B and the library uses SWIG). By default, instances of classes created by SWIG are not serializable. You'd get the same error if you tried import pickle pickle.dumps( B() ) So what you (or the library author) need to do is add one or more of the methods for serialization explained here: http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/pickle-inst.html http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/node321.html http://www.python.org/doc/2.5/lib/node322.html -Matthias _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
