Pickling dynamically generated classes?

Question

I\'m using type() to dynamically generate classes that will ultimately be pickled. The problem is that the un-pickling process needs the definition of the class

Answer 1

One idea would be to pickle a tuple with:

1. The name of the dynamic class
2. The subclass tuple (possibly in string form from repr())
3. The class dictionary
4. The actual instance

This would allow you to pickle a class and then reconstruct it later using type() and subclassing Unpickler.
