Heh. Pickle is not really sufficient for some edge cases, too. Luckily, there's Dill that can take almost perfect snapshots of the whole interpreter: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/dill

Also Dill's developer Michael Mckerns is super responsive and helpful. Hopefully someday pickle will be replaced / augmented with dill in the standard distribution.
