[Persistence-sig] persistence to code-related-object?

[Jeremy Hylton]

I suspect that transparently storing code in the database is an
advanced topic that won't be addressed by the PEPs, although I'm happy
to consider it if it ends up being an important requirement.

It is an important requirement for Zope, and we've got an incomplete
version in the ZODB4 code base.  It's based on ihooks, rather than
imputils.  Paolo has also pointed out that we've got a write-only
implementation at the moment :-(.  None of the tests verify that a
class can be reloaded from the database.
