I haven't tried it, but they *should* be compatible. Pickle uses its own 
stack based language to write out objects - so for pure Python it should 
work fine.

As pickle is a pure Python module which works (I'm pretty sure I tried 
it back in the past !?!) with IronPython, the semantics should be unchanged.
