Have you read the warning in the first paragraph of the pickle docs? Pickles are a major security risk unless both hosts are trustworthy and are either inside a protected network or are connected over a secure line. http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#module-pickle Warning The pickle module is not intended to be secure against erroneous or maliciously constructed data. Never unpickle data received from an untrusted or unauthenticated source. Christian Heimes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
