Re: Pickling generators

According to issue 3150 
https://foss.heptapod.net/pypy/pypy/-/issues/3150, this is on purpose, 
and brings us into feature compatibility with CPython:


Python 3.8.6 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Oct  7 2020, 19:08:05)
[GCC 7.5.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import pickle
 >>> def f():
...     yield 10
...
 >>> gen = f()
 >>> pickle.dumps(gen)
Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: cannot pickle 'generator' object

I guess we could improve the error message to be more helpful. Do you 
have a concrete use case for this?

Matti.
