[issue22955] Pickling of methodcaller, attrgetter, and itemgetter

[Serhiy Storchaka]

Serhiy Storchaka added the comment:

operator.methodcaller is similar to functools.partial which is pickleable and can be used as a sample.

In C implementation some code can be shared between __repr__ and __reduce__ methods.

As for tests, different protocols should be tested. Also should be tested compatibility between C and Python implementations, instances pickled with one implementation should be unpickleable with other implementation. Move pickle tests into new test class.

If add __repr__ methods, they need tests. The restriction of method name type should be tested too.
