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.
Hi Irmen,
I'm not necessarily proposing a solution to your problem, but am interested in your requirement. Is this for pyro?
In the light of pyro, would something JSON be suitable for your need? I only came across it a week ago (when someone else posted about it here on c.l.py), and am intrigued by it.
http://json.org
What I find particularly intriguing is the JSON-RPC protocol, which looks like a nice lightweight alternative to XML-RPC.

Also interesting is the browser embeddable JSON-RPC client written in javascript, for which you can see a demo here

I thought you might be interested.
