Saving and Restoring Molecule State
Molecule and MoleculeRep instances can be saved used the pickle
module from the Python standard library. Molecules will be saved with
information about their name, files, and reps. The files themselves
are not saved with the molecule; they will be reloaded when the molecule
instance is recreated using pickle.load(). MoleculeRep instances
can also be pickled; when restored they will be unassigned to any Molecules.
