Well according to the documentation at

http://docs.python.org/py3k/tutorial/inputoutput.html#reading-and-writing-files

it should be straightforward to read and write pickled files
Not sure why you want to pickle a text file over the network when you 
could just stream it between ports !

however ...

I'm currently getting a Unicode decode error on the first byte in the 
stream when it gets to the other end, no idea why so I guess I have to 
continue searching, read the documentation above and see if you can 
figure it out, that's what I'm doing.
