RE: [Zope-dev] pickling limitation in external methods?

ok. i patched ExternalMethod sufficiently to see the error message, and i was able to track the problem. it's another name collision. the mxDateTime package uses a module named DateTime. so does ZOPE. when my code tries to unpickle the mxDateTime objects, it tries to use the definitions in the ZOPE DateTime module, and fails. i know this was a problem with PIL as well. was there ever an "official" workaround?
