pickle alternative

[simonwittber at gmail.com]

I've written a simple module which serializes these python types:

IntType, TupleType, StringType, FloatType, LongType, ListType, DictType

It available for perusal here:

It appears to work faster than pickle, however, the decode process is
much slower (5x) than the encode process. Has anyone got any tips on
ways I might speed this up?
