[Python-Dev] PEP 574 (pickle 5) implementation and backport available

[Antoine Pitrou]

Hi,

While PEP 574 (pickle protocol 5 with out-of-band data) is still in
draft status, I've made available an implementation in branch "pickle5"
in my GitHub fork of CPython:
https://github.com/pitrou/cpython/tree/pickle5

Also I've published an experimental backport on PyPI, for Python 3.6
and 3.7.  This should help people play with the new API and features
without having to compile Python:
https://pypi.org/project/pickle5/

Any feedback is welcome.

Regards

Antoine.
