Hi,
Recently I had the need to filter objects based on whether they're picklable or not:

I'm not sure what's a good way to check for a specific object whether it's picklable.
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4080688/python-pickling-a-dict-with-some-...This led me to think: Maybe we should have an `Unpicklable` abstract base class in the `collections` module? Then various unpicklable classes, like locks, files or widgets, could inherit from this class to signify that they cannot be pickled.
What do you think?
This sounds useful. I’d rather spell the ABC pickle.Picklable, though.
Indeed; let's not turn the `collections` module into a repository of miscellaneous ABCs. I'm looking at you, collections.Callable! Cheers, Chris -- Burn the witch! http://blog.rebertia.com
