Serialization with pickle or otherwise (how to make PImage serializable?)

Processing.py
1

I usually use Python’s pickle module for serialization. But it doesn’t work with Processing objects from PImage, or PVector.

There is this other Java strategy that has the same problem.

from java import io
def saveObject(x,fname="jython.bin"):
    outs=io.ObjectOutputStream(io.FileOutputStream(fname))
    outs.writeObject(x)
    outs.close()
def loadObject(fname="jython.bin"):
    ins=io.ObjectInputStream(io.FileInputStream(fname))
    x=ins.readObject()
    ins.close()
    return x

# p = createImage(RGB, 100, 100)
# image(p, 0, 0)
x={1:1,'two':"2",'three':[1,2,3]}
saveObject(x)
p=loadObject()
print p

Is it possible to “mark” PImage as serializable?
