[mod_python] What can be pickled?

Hi,

This means that they are not locally defined in a function or class.

In this example, foo is top-level whereas bar isn't :

# mymodule.py
def foo(y):
def bar(x):
return x+y
return bar

Just as an aside, I suppose you asking this question because you try to
store functions or classes in a session object. Just don't do this, this is
not supported and won't ever be. There are way too many problems due to the
interactions between dynamic module loading and pickling.

Regards,
Nicolas
