I did a little more testing, and now I'm confused about the relationship 
between serializing and proxying.

If I try the autoproxy example autoproxy turned off, I get the same error as 
when autoproxy is turned on: "Pyro4.errors.ProtocolError: unsupported 
serialized class: Thingy".

However, if I modify the server to return a URI instead of an instance, and 
modify the client to create a proxy using the URI, then the example runs.

So I can't return an instance, with or without autoproxy, because of a 
serialization problem. But I can return a URI and have the client create a 
proxy for an instance of the same class, which succeeds. Does manual 
proxying use some mechanism other than serialization?
