This example shows how to make an Extension Class "pickleable".
The world class below contains member data (secret_number) that
cannot be restored by any of the constructors. Therefore it is
necessary to provide the __getstate__/__setstate__ pair of pickle
interface methods.
For simplicity, the __dict__ is not included in the result of
__getstate__. This is not generally recommended, but a valid
approach if it is anticipated that the object's __dict__ will
always be empty. Note that safety guards are provided to catch
the cases where this assumption is not true.
pickle3.cpp shows how to include the object's __dict__ in the
result of __getstate__.
For more information refer to boost/libs/python/doc/pickle.html.
