pickle function reference ??

[ted kelly]

It seems I can not deepcopy or pickle an object with an attribute that
points to any function that is not a built in.
I thought it should be ok as long as the function is defined in the top
level of a module.
What am I missing??

That is not true

import pickle

class A:
pass

a=A()
a.attr=pickle.l oads

data=pickle.dum ps(a)
b=pickle.loads( data)
print b.attr

works fine for me.
