I want to store a plain python dictionary, and not just for the
authenticated user.

If I just store the dictionary in the user object, eg.

user=portal_membership.getAutehnticatedUser()
user.myData={"id1":"data1", "id2":"data2"}

If I do it this way, the userobject "looses" this property when I restart
Zope. Why is that? How can I store basic python-objects within the
userobject?
