Antoine, to answer your question about universal newlines in pickle in
msg87622. The pickle.py docsstrings in 2.7+ contain the following text (amongst
others):
The optional protocol argument tells the pickler to use the
given protocol; supported protocols are 0, 1, 2. The default
protocol is 0, to be backwards compatible. (Protocol 0 is the
only protocol that can be written to a file opened in text
mode and read back successfully. When using a protocol higher
than 0, make sure the file is opened in binary mode, both when
pickling and unpickling.)
This clearly indicates that protocol 0 is supposed to compatible with text-mode
files. That would mean this issue probably is not invalid, the documentation
above implies that a pickle file written in text mode on Windows should be
readable on a Unix system.
That said, I'd advise anyone to use the highest possible protocol because
higher protocol levels are more efficient and better support newstyle classes.
