Olly Betts	728b8955bd	Drop support for Python classic classes ... There were only needed to support Python < 2.2, and we now require at least Python 2.6. Conflicts: .travis.yml Examples/test-suite/python/autodoc_runme.py Source/Modules/python.cxx This is a cherry-pick and merge from patch in #1261	2018-10-12 07:10:47 +01:00

William S Fulton	d2cb98c134	Pickle test additions ... These are not working yet for all combinations of builtin and PY3 The goal is to have a sensible default error that states that pickling is not supported.	2016-10-14 07:30:44 +01:00
William S Fulton	96fae38be2	Fix Python pickling and metaclass for builtin wrappers ... The metaclass (SwigPyObjectType) for SWIG objects was not defined in a way that let importlib successfully import the Python wrappers. The pickle module failed because it couldn't determine what module the SWIG wrapped objects are in. I've changed the definition of SwigPyObjectType using more normal builtin type definitions. There are still some open questions: - None of the builtin types, like swig_static_var_getset_descriptor and SwigPyObject are added into any module. No call to PyModule_AddObject is made, so isinstance cannot be used for any wrapped type, all of which are derived from SwigPyObject. Closes #808	2016-10-14 07:30:44 +01:00
