Marshal can basically store/load anything except object instances.
So lists, dictionaries and so on are possible, but not objects.

Marshal is, I think, much faster than pickle, so it's certainly worth
a try. 


What I've been wondering is why you want to do this, though. Why not
use some kind of database system with the possibility to export to and
import from XML?
