That's unfortunate because pickle has so many advantages such as automatically tying into copy/deepcopy.  Would it be possible to make unpickle secure, e.g., by having the caller create a context in which all calls to unpickle are limited to unpickling a specific set of types?  (When these types unpickle their sub-objects, they could potentially limit the set of types further.)
