Probably not outrageously hard... but I imagine it would be even easier
to use YAML as a format.  If you use the Syck C library (which has a
Python binding), you can even do the reading and writing quite quickly.
And the intermediate format is quite a bit more readable than are
pickles (which may not be necessary, but cannot hurt).

To an extent, I could recommend gnosis.xml.pickle for the same reasons.
But other than for XML buzzword-compliance, YAML is almost always
better (smaller data files, faster, etc).
