Sort of interesting how Python has got rid of the GIL. Serialization of data securities is still something relevant though and I’m not sure if you should use pickle still?

Pickle is likely still handy, as long as you created the data that you're deserializing. Zope's object database was a big pickle file, as I recall. But yeah, not a good idea if you're cracking open user-supplied files in any way.
