pickle and module versioning

I find pickle really handy for saving results from my (simulation)
experiments. But recently I realized there is an issue. Reading the saved
results requires loading the pickle, which in turn will load any referenced
modules. Problem is, what if the modules have changed?
For example, I just re-implemented a python module in C++, in a not quite
compatible way. AFAIK, my only choice to not break my setup is to choose a
different name for the new module.
Has anyone else run into this issue and have any ideas? I can imagine
perhaps some kind of module versioning could be used (although haven't
really thought through the details).
Thanks,
Neal
