Could you try this procedure in a python command window please? from durus.connection import Connection c = Connection('testfile.durus') print( c.get_root().__class__) from pickle import dumps print(dumps(c.get_root().__class__, 2)) If working correctly, we should not see any durus.durus names. Is it possible that qwitter, or one of the many qwitter dependencies listed below, changes the way import works before durus gets imported in a qwitter application? I'm trying to figure out what makes a qwitter application different from the direct use of durus.
