I recently finished an article for IBM's developerWorks website on Python Persistence Management. I basically cover quite a bit of material on pickling/unpickling. I'm looking for a couple of pickling experts to critique the article before it gets published. If you'd like to do so, please contact me offlist at pobrien@orbtech.com. Thanks. -- Patrick K.
