// Example by Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve

/*
    This example shows how to make an Extension Class "pickleable".

    The world class below contains member data (secret_number) that
    cannot be restored by any of the constructors. Therefore it is
    necessary to provide the __getstate__/__setstate__ pair of pickle
    interface methods.

    For simplicity, the __dict__ is not included in the result of
    __getstate__. This is not generally recommended, but a valid
    approach if it is anticipated that the object's __dict__ will
    always be empty. Note that safety guards are provided to catch
    the cases where this assumption is not true.

    pickle3.cpp shows how to include the object's __dict__ in the
    result of __getstate__.

    For more information refer to boost/libs/python/doc/pickle.html.
