unpickling Set as set

[Nick Vatamaniuc]

The two are not of the same type:

---------------------------------
In : import sets
In : s1=sets.Set([1,2,3])

In : s2=set([1,2,3])

In: type(s1)
Out: <class 'sets.Set'>

In : type(s2)
Out: <type 'set'>

In : s1==s2
Out: False   # oops!

In: s2==set(s1)
Out: True   # aha!
----------------------------------

You'll have to just cast:
 unpickled_set=set(unpickled_set)
