Some code in the 'py' lib used to use marshal to send simple objects between the main process and a subprocess. We ran into trouble when we extended the idea to a subprocess that would actually run via ssh on a remote machine, and the remote machine's Python version didn't match the local one. The obvious quick fix was to set the 'version' argument to 0 and pretend that it would be fine forever.
this is a rather common use case. </F>
