<div>Hi,</div><div><br></div>As a note, the `lock` issue occurs with stackless python, which allows instancemethod pickling. In standard cpython it is "TypeError: can't pickle instancemethod objects" obviously.<div>

<div><br></div><div>It's a little annoying because it prevents us from using generic methods as action callbacks (actions performed when e.g. we click on a link in a web page) in Nagare Web applications because Nagare pickles them in the user session.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm not sure how the problem can be fixed. I'm wondering if the Dispatching object should be pickled (or not) and if regenerations have to be triggered on pickling/depickling.</div>
