Pickling array.array

[Nicolas Fleury]

Hi,
	Does anyone know if arrays would be picklable in python 2.4?  Until 
then, I tried to derive from array.array and add __setstate__ and 
__getstate__ with the following code, but it seems I'm not doing it 
correctly.  Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thx and Regards,
Nicolas

import array as arr

class array(arr.array):
     def __getstate__(self):
         return {'buffer': self.tostring()}
     def __setstate__(self, dict):
         self.fromstring(dict['buffer'])
