3.14.5 The pickle protocol

This section describes the ``pickling protocol'' that defines the interface between the pickler/unpickler and the objects that are being serialized. This protocol provides a standard way for you to define, customize, and control how your objects are serialized and de-serialized. The description in this section doesn't cover specific customizations that you can employ to make the unpickling environment slightly safer from untrusted pickle data streams; see section 3.14.6 for more details.
