Does it matter since it is decoded properly?

>>> import pickle
>>> import cPickle
>>> cPickle.dumps('1001799')
"S'1001799'\np1\n."
>>> pickle.dumps('1001799')
"S'1001799'\np0\n."

>>> pickle.loads(pickle.dumps('1001799'))
'1001799'
>>> pickle.loads(cPickle.dumps('1001799'))
'1001799'
>>> cPickle.loads(pickle.dumps('1001799'))
'1001799'
>>> cPickle.loads(cPickle.dumps('1001799'))
'1001799'
>>>
