I believe the biggest problem with the proposal, as specified, is that changing the semantics of __getstate__ and __setstate__ is a bad idea. Add a new pair of methods and ask the twisted people what they think. My only criticism will then be the strawman repr/unrepr.
i'll try to come up with new names... but i don't have any ideas at the moment.
The "__getstate__" and "__setstate__" names don't really work for me either, especially since __setstate__ creates a new object, as opposed to changing the state of an existing object. Since this proposal is all about simplification, how about something like "__simplify__" and "__expand__", respectively? Collin Winter
