hello, again,

I have rearranged in my product now, so that I pass along dictionaries
to populate the classes and using a cmf-tool to provide the interface
for the various methods of the classes.

I am returning objects wrapped in __of__(self), ie.

    class Person(Acquisition.Implicit):
       def __init__(self data):
           ...

    PersonObject = Person(data).__of__(self)
    return PersonObject

If I want to pickle, store and later reuse PersonObject, I suspect that
this also creates a similar to my original one, where I wanted to store
ZODB-references in the PersonObject.


So should I, when pickling and storing the PersonObject, store

   PersonObject.aq_base

rather than just PersonObject?

Thanks,
