Ephemeral?
As an added bonus, twisted already uses this terminology, see: twisted.persisted.styles.Ephemeral.
Twisted has a taste for "smart" obscure names (can you guess what Avatar and Portal are for?),
"pickle" is an ironic context to complain about "smart" obscure names. Anyways, yes, I do know what those classes are, but I have used them before. Analogously, I suspect that is also the only reason why "Nonpickleable" seems like an "obvious" choice to you. But, next you are gonna want a "NonMarshalable" and "NonJSONable" and "NonBananaable" and "NonJellyable" and every other version of persistence. Or, you pick a name that describes the property that you really want to describe (e.g., ephemeral). -- Scott Dial scott@scottdial.com scodial@cs.indiana.edu
