No no no, I'm not fiddling around with any internals, here.
I just want to use the machinary as it is, and to be able to
pickle almost everything.
So, if somebody did a v=C().x, I have that variable around.
In order to pickle it, I ask for its __reduce__, or in other
words, I don't ask for it, I try to supply it, so the pickling
engine can find it.
My expectation is that C().x.__reduce__ gives me the bound
__reduce__ method of the bound x method of a C instance.

No, __reduce__ is a method of f, which is bound to an instance
of C. Calling it will give me what I need to pickle the bound
f method. This is all what I want. I think this is just natural.

Once again.
What I try to achieve is complete thread pickling.
That means, I need to supply pickling methods to
all objects which don't have builtin support in
cPickle or which don't provide __reduce__ already.
I have done this for some 10 or more types, successfully.
Bound PyCFunction objects are nice and don't give me a problem.
Bound PyFunction objects do give me a problem, since they
don't want to give me what they are bound to.
My options are:
- Do an ugly patch that special cases for __reduce__, which I did
just now, in order to seet hings working.
- get the master's voice about how to do this generally right,
and do it generally right.
I would of course prefer the latter, but I also try to save
as much time as I can while supporting my clients, since
Stackless is almost no longer sponsored, and I have money problems.
thanks so much -- chris
