Hi Torsten, You can build Blender as a Python module [1], then you can import it into your script. As a bonus, you won't even have to pickle/unpickle, as you can directly access the data you're intersted in.
If you don't want this for some reason, I would recommend writing your data to a file format that is independent of Blender's data model (like JSON or YAML).
