I had this problem with Twisted. My solution was
simple - don't pickle the Twisted objects. A part of
doing this was setting Twisted references to None and
restoring them after. 

In my case, it beget the question of whether
serialising the Twisted objects made sense (no it
didn't).

If the objects are problematic - you may consider
writing your own custom serialisation: the
instructions are here:
