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
