In case you ever wondered how pickle worked

Alexandre has a nice blog post up about how pickle works. I honestly had never bothered to learn enough about pickle to know why pickle existed over marshal since everything pickle has to represent has to be doable in bytecode. But pickle is definitely simpler.

Full disclosure: Alexandre is my student for the Google Summer of Code this year.

@edcrypt:
Yes, but it is up to Alexandre to submit it to be added. Not sure if he wants off the roll or not.
