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.
