Do you have big archives of pickled arrays ?

I have the feeling that your question is related to this SO question:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2121874/python-pickling-after-changing-a-modules-directory
From the accepted SO answer, I'm getting that it is not easy to manually
edit the pickled files (except in the case of the ASCII pickle protocol)

So if you still have an old setup that can open the pickled arrays, I
would suggest to use it to convert it to a format that is more
appropriate to long term archiving. Maybe a simple text format (CSV ?)
or HDF5 depending on the volume and the complexity (but I'm not a
specialist data archiving)

best,
Pierre
