Not quite:  "import pickle" merely readies the machinery that objectifies 
pickles.  In order to objectify a pickle, you have to call pickle.loads:

>>> import pickle  # get ready to objectify a pickle, but don't do it yet
>>> x = SomeClass(some_value, some_other_value)
>>> s = pickle.dumps(x)  # now s contains a pickle
>>> y = pickle.loads(s)  # this actually objectifies the pickle known as s

Sorry.

Now back to your regularly scheduled holy war.
