Description
Currently I use deepcopy to save the state: https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/copy.html#copy.deepcopy
This means the types must be serializable by deepcopy, which unfortunately has some major limitations:
* Deepcopy cannot handle the following types:
> "This module does not copy types like module, method, stack trace, stack frame, file, socket, window, array, or any similar types"
* Imports are not saved (although you can still use imports in the saved section, the import will just happen twice)
* Conditional imports and imports in functions may not work
* File I/O does not work (TextIOWrapper is not serializable)
Please comment below if you run into any issues with #$save
