  Description     : Fork of pickle module, for ZODB

 This package presents a uniform pickling interface for ZODB:
 .
 Under Python 2, this package forks both Python 2.7’s pickle and cPickle
 modules, adding support for the protocol 3 opcodes. It also provides a new
 subclass of bytes, zodbpickle.binary, which Python2 applications can use to
 pickle binary values such that they will be unpickled as bytes under Python 3.
 .
 Under Python 3, this package forks the pickle module (and the supporting C
 extension) from both Python 3.2 and Python 3.3. The fork adds support for the
 noload operations used by ZODB.

This is a required dependency for the new version of ZODB, and I plan to
maintain it as part of the Debian Python Modules Team. See also
