I read somewhere that Marshalling is version-dependent while pickling is
not, but can't find that reference. OTOH, pickling can lead to loading
of malicious code (I understand) while marshalling only handles basic
Python types?
Could anyone point me to a reasonable discussion of the pros and cons of
each method for serialization?
They're both standard libraries and the official documentation for them
on python.org describes their functionality in detail.
