Description

See http://modpython.org/pipermail/mod_python/2005-October/019158.html

The problem is that pickling/unpickling top-level function is done by name, which requires that the module they are defined in can be imported in the usual way, or at least that it is registered in sys.modules.

Fixing this in 3.2 alone seems quite difficult. I'd rather try to do this in 3.3, along with the major overhaul of the import system.
