 Classes can use the same interfaces to control copying that they use
-to control pickling: they can define methods called
-\method{__getinitargs__()}, \method{__getstate__()} and
-\method{__setstate__()}.  See the description of module
+to control pickling.  See the description of module
 \refmodule{pickle}\refstmodindex{pickle} for information on these

 In order for a class to define its own copy implementation, it can
 define special methods \method{__copy__()} and
