Pickling Server object fails with attribute error

[Alice Seaborn]

Greetings,

I am using the OpenStackSDK with Python 3.9.16, here is the output of `pip freeze | grep openstack` for identifying package versions which might be relevant to my issue.

openstackclient==4.0.0
openstacksdk==2.0.0
python-openstackclient==6.4.0

When creating new compute server instances, the `conn.create_server(...)` method returns an instance of the openstack.compute.v2.server.Server object. This object is extremely useful since it contains instance specific information that will come in handy later. I would very much like to pickle these objects and load them back into Server instances later on. To accomplish this task, I am using the following process:

import pickle
instance = conn.create_server(...)
with open('instance.pkl', 'wb') as f:
    pickle.dump(instance, f, pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL)

However, I end up getting an attribute error from the Resource object as pickle attempts to iterate through the object's items.

File /opt/environments/cdp-python/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/openstack/resource.py:199, in _BaseComponent.__get__(self, instance, owner)
    197 setattr(instance, seen_flag, True)
    198 value = getattr(instance, self.alias)
--> 199 delattr(instance, seen_flag)
    200 self.warn_if_deprecated_property(value)
    201 return value

AttributeError: owner_seen

I suspect this issue is a user-error and I am doing something incorrectly. However, I could not find a user forum to post this issue and I have exhausted paths forward for debugging on my own since I am new to using OpenStack to say nothing of the SDK. Please let me know if there is a place where I should redirect my debugging attention and I will get right on it.

Thanks! Alice

Trying to lower the priority as much as possible since this issue isn't critical.
