Just use pickle. From the docs: | The marshal module exists mainly to support reading and writing | the ``pseudo-compiled'' code for Python modules of .pyc files. | Therefore, the Python maintainers reserve the right to modify the | marshal format in backward incompatible ways should the need | arise. If you're serializing and de-serializing Python objects, | use the pickle module instead.
