@ -458,6 +458,15 @@ Pickling and unpickling normal class instances
For :term:`new-style class`\es, if :meth:`__getstate__` returns a false
value, the :meth:`__setstate__` method will not be called.
.. note::
At unpickling time, some methods like :meth:`__getattr__`,
:meth:`__getattribute__`, or :meth:`__setattr__` may be called upon the
instance. In case those methods rely on some internal invariant being
true, the type should implement either :meth:`__getinitargs__` or
:meth:`__getnewargs__` to establish such an invariant; otherwise, neither
:meth:`__new__` nor :meth:`__init__` will be called.
