Use marshal rather than pickle.  Note that requires both ends to be
running the same python version.  Be aware of the obvious security
issues of running code that came from remote machine, either because the
remote machine itself may be untrusted or compromised, or because the
network between the two machines may be compromised (remote machine is
being spoofed or commnications are being modified).
