[BUG?] python: cannot pickle ROOT.Long() (not found as ROOT.long)

Hello,

I am having problems serializing a class instance which uses a variable of type ROOT.Long. A MWE reproducing the problem in an interactive python shell is:

import ROOT
import pickle
pickle.dump(ROOT.Long(), open('test.pkl', 'wb'), protocol=2)

which results in:

PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'ROOT.long'>: it's not found as ROOT.long

Why is this? Can it have something to do with the Long / long name mismatch?
I would be grateful for any suggestion!

Cheers,
Elena
