Works for me:

 Python 2.3.5 (#2, May  4 2005, 08:51:39)
 [GCC 3.3.5 (Debian 1:3.3.5-12)] on linux2

 >>> import pickle
 >>> class Foo:
 ...     def foo(self):
 ...         print "Hello, world!"
 ...     bar = foo
 ...
 >>> pickle.dumps(Foo)
 'c__main__\nFoo\np0\n.'
 >>> pickle.dumps(Foo())
 '(i__main__\nFoo\np0\n(dp1\nb.'
