And "import pickle" objectifies pickles. It's deplorable how few gherkins become programmers, and I think it's because of these immature jokes about pickles that have become entrenched in the Python community. These folk are on the very point of becoming programmers when they read an extremely obscure reference in one program's module collection and, as a result, choose a career elsewhere (in the case of pickles, there's always a job at McDonalds).
