FWIW, the solution I have for now is to use dump(ls(), file="") to get a deparsed string representation of all the objects in memory, which can then be pickled. I'm not having problems with it right now in any simple cases, but I can imagine there are situations where deparsing gets hairy, so being able to pickle the R globalEnv or somehow being able to route the file output of R's save.image command to a python object that can then be pickled would be the best....
