Add pickling support for textparser.ParseError

[zariiii9003]

@eerimoq i want to load a cantools database in a ProcessPoolExecutor, but the missing pickling support causes a BrokenProcessPool, if a parsing error occurs.

@eerimoq: any news here?

(if you want to get rid of maintenance for this module, we (the cantools maintainers) can take over and/or move it to the cantools github organization...)

[eerimoq]

sounds like a plan

juleq is maintainer on pypi and repo in cantools org now

Now that we have your attention, could you also add @andlaus to the cantools readthedocs admins? The documentation hasn't been updated in a while.

[eerimoq]

what email should I add as maintainer?

[andlaus]

the simplest approach would be to add @zariiii9003, @juleq and my account (@andlaus) to the collaborators with admin permissions of this repository. (that is if you want to keep it on your personal account. If you don't, you can change the ownership of the repo to the cantools github organization in the settings.)

oops, I did not grok that, forget my previous comment.

@zariiii9003: this looks good to me, can you merge?

you mean the author_email field in setup.py? I think it should be removed outright because we want people to open issues on github instead of sending emails to a random person...
