[issue6784] byte/unicode pickle incompatibilities between python2 and python3

[Merlijn van Deen]

Last night, I hacked together a wrapper to do what loewis suggested [1]. It pickles bytes to str (for protocol <= 2), and unpickles str to bytes.

If I (ever) get the build system and tests of python itself to work, I'll try and see if I can implement a nicer solution - at least for pickle.py.
