On the features page, you can read this:

"Mobile objects. Clients and servers can pass objects around - even when 
the server has never known them before. Pyro will then automatically 
transfer the needed Python bytecode."

I believe that using cPickle and transferring data (but not the code) is 
still more secure than transferring bytecode. :-)
