Although, I would really like to see support of pickling generators. It is not 
really possible in CPython. This is recurrent request. I even wrote a small 
article about it.

Looking how PyPy did it, I see portability problems with the fact it dumps the 
byte-code of the generator to disk. Python's documentation clearly states that 
the byte-code is an implementation details and can (and does) change between 
releases. Hence, this method is not really suitable for pickle which needs to 
remain compatible across releases.
