[Python-ideas] Serializable method

[anatoly techtonik]

Pickle is insecure, unfortunately, so a generic module to serialize
and unserialize Python objects (or data containers) securely, without
the need of constructor, would be awesome. However, magical methods
are evil. It will be hard to find the source of error if the logic in
your magic level fail.
