Further Reading
Many articles about the pickle module make references to cPickle. In Python 2, there were two implementations of the pickle module, one written in pure Python and another written in C (but still callable from Python). In Python 3, these two modules have been consolidated, so you should always just import pickle. You may find these articles useful, but you should ignore the now-obsolete information about cPickle.
