[Zope-dev] pickling limitation in external methods?

[Wolf Logan]

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?
