Sorry for not coming back to this sooner.

In our case we are probably just going to work with a different file format because this was something like the 3rd time that the way pickle works caused our loading to fail for some reason or other. I think the hoops we need to jump through to ensure that the dumping and loading environments match up are too high relative to the cost of switching to JSON or similar, especially if we might need to load the data from something other than Python in future (god forbid).
