Pickle and marshal are not safe. They can do harmful things if fed maliciously constructed data. That is a pity, because marshal is fast. I need a fast and safe (secure) marshaler. Is xdrlib the only option? I would expect that it is fast and safe because it (the xdr spec) has been around for so long.
Or are there better options (perhaps 3rd party libraries)?
