Out of curiosity, could you explain why it matters in this context whether it's an extensionclass or not? Is it because there might be a set of people using PersistentMapping objects for whom its important that they be able to use extenionclass semantics against them? I'd just never thought of using __of__ or inheritedAttribute or any of the other EC-specific stuff on a PersistentMapping.
<shrug> Who knows. I'd rather be safe. It's not that hard. In any case, we would have needed the fix to handle old pickles correctly.
Gotcha. Can you answer a question about the features we're allowed now? If we don't use extensionclass, is it possible to persist instances of new-style classes in ZODB now (ie. is persistent.Persistent really a new-style type/class)? - C
