+- Under certain conditions hashing of an object defined in the `__main__` module failed.

+        Namely, this implementation fixes the following issues:
+
+        - Because we skip memoization, we need to handle the case where the object is self-referential.
+          We just catch the error and raise a more descriptive error message.
+        - We need to handle the case where the object is defined in the `__main__` module.
+          For some reason, this can lead to pickle issues.
+          Based on some information I found, this should not happen, but it still does...
+          To fix it, we detect, when an object is defined in `__main__` and temporarily add it to the "real" module
+          representing the main function.
+          Afterwards we do some cleanup.
+          Not sure if really required, but it seems to work.
+          Overall very hacky, but I don't see a better way to fix this.
