[Zope-Checkins] CVS: Zope/lib/python/ZODB - serialize.py:1.4

[Jeremy Hylton]

Update of /cvs-repository/Zope/lib/python/ZODB
In directory cvs.zope.org:/tmp/cvs-serv18604/lib/python/ZODB

Modified Files:
	serialize.py 
Log Message:
Backport Fred's recent changes from the branch.

- inline getClassMetadata() into serialize()
- get __getnewargs__() from the object instance, not the class, since
  the PersistentClassMetaClass does things strangely
