Did you mean in Python3?  I would agree that using it is better than
importing the semi-hidden _pickle module.

That said, I'll echo the questions about testing.  Pickle works in
Python3, but it is fraught with all kinds of bytes/str and encoding
issues; I've found it sufficiently fragile in practice that I really just
try to avoid it.  How have you verified that this script works under both
versions of Python?

Thanks,

jon
