    Definitive documentation on newstyle classes? (WAS: Pickling andinheritance are making me hurt)

    I was reading the "Pickling and inheritance are making me hurt"
    thread, and the latest suggestion (as of this posting) was to do with
    the __setstate__ and __getstate__ methods. They caught my attention
    because I hadn't encountered them before, and it reminded me that in
    the past I've never been able to very good, definitive documentation
    on newstyle classes. Googling for it gives little python tutorials on
    various sites, and even searching this newsgroup returns very specific
    questions, as a rule.

    Alas, the question: Does there exist a page that enumerates all of the
    features of the newstyle classes, and explains what they all do? If
    so, can anyone provide me with such a link?

    Thanks :-)

      Well, the fact is that __[get|set]state__() have nothing to do with new
      style classes, but with the Pickle protocol:

          Thank you for pointing that out, but all the same ;)
