What Pickle would that be? Python has something with the right name,
but "[t]he pickle module implements a basic but powerful algorithm
for ``pickling'' (a.k.a. serializing, marshalling or flattening)
nearly arbitrary Python objects. This is the act of converting
objects to a stream of bytes (and back: ``unpickling''). " That
(from <http://www.computing.ee.ethz.ch/.soft/python/lib/pickle.html >
) doesn't seem to me to describe an external API. If you mean
something else, can you supply a reference as a (fairly cursory)
search of the web shows me nothing.
