Incompatible with pickle library about freezegun HOT 8 CLOSED

I'm sorry for resurfacing this very old issue. Please ignore my stupidity. After extensive debugging, I discovered that an instance of the _freeze_time class was making its way into the dict I was trying to copy. Resolving that fixed my problem. Nothing to see here. Move along.

This was also fixed by 0453e5f

@spulec , I think this is still an issue, or something changed in later releases...

Failing test:

@freezegun.freeze_time('2001-01-01')
def test_picke_mock_time():
    import cPickle as pickle
    data = {'time': datetime.datetime.utcnow()}
    result = pickle.loads(pickle.dumps(data))
    compare(result, data)

Runs fine without the freezegun decorator, with the decorator, raises:

PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'datetime.datetime'>: it's not the same object as datetime.datetime

It would be good to have this test as a regression.
I would send a pull-request, but I can't figure why it is broken. Maybe you can find the problem using this test.

Ah, you are correct. It looks like I fixed now(), but not utcnow(). Fixed with 768a60f and added tests. Going to push a new release in a minute.

Also, thanks!

Still happening with cPickle and python-rq.

  File "local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/rq/job.py", line 303, in save
    obj['data'] = dumps(self.job_tuple)
cPickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'datetime.datetime'>: it's not the same object as datetime.datetime

I believe that's the same issue as #30

from freezegun.

Has this regressed in 0.3.x? I'm getting TypeError: can't pickle NotImplementedType objects when trying to copy.deepcopy any object with a faked date/time/datetime in it.
