[Pyobjc-dev] Pickling OC_PythonFloat causes a crash

[Luc H. <lu...@ho...>]

Yo,

I just spent two days tracking down a weird (and bad) crash in my  
PyObjC application, which turns out to be a problem of pickling  
(using cPickle, fwiw) an instance of what I thought was a python  
float but which actually is a objc._pythonify.OC_PythonFloat.

Switching the value of this attribute to an int fixes the crash,  
which is fine for me because using a float (from  
NSTextField.floatValue instead of intValue) in my particular case was  
a mistake to begin with.

But I'm curious to know exactly why the crash occurs when using a  
float-which-is-not-a-float... :)
