It's an unsupported use case. The marshal docs are quite clear:
"""Therefore, the Python maintainers reserve the right to modify
the marshal format in backward incompatible ways should the need
arise. If you’re serializing and de-serializing Python objects,
use the pickle module instead [...]"""
So, it's a "good idea" as long as you're willing to deal with the
consequences :-)
