AFAIK Yaml already supports persisting python objects:

 >>> from yaml import dump
 >>> class Foo(object):
...    def __init__(self, name):
...        self.name = name
...
 >>> f = Foo('bar')
 >>> dump(f)
'!!python/object:__main__.Foo {name: bar}\n'
 >>>


And if you want to write your own persistence, I'd do that as yaml and 
pickle do as a generic function that supports the pickle protocol.
