I asked on comp.lang.python about persisting classes. David Wahler posted an interesting solution. You can read the thread here:
http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/10a03f094303a91c/7d65bd344d4e0063?hl=en#7d65bd344d4e0063

(David's reply hasn't appeared on Google as I post this but it should be there eventually...)
