Pickling slotted instances

[Andrew McNamara]

Instances using __slots__ can't be pickled - is there a fundemental reason
why this is so, or is it simply yet to be implemented?

At first glance, a __getstate__ for a slotted class could be as simple as:

    def __getstate__(self):
        attrs = [getattr(self, attr, None) for attr in self.__slots__]
        return self.__slots__, attrs

What am I missing?
