pickle5 0.0.9

Backport of the pickle 5 protocol (PEP 574) and other pickle changes

This package backports all features and APIs added in the pickle module in Python 3.8.0, including the PEP 574 additions. It should work with Python 3.6 and 3.7.

Basic usage is similar to the pickle module, except that the module to be imported is pickle5:

import pickle5 as pickle

pb = pickle.PickleBuffer(b"foo")
data = pickle.dumps(pb, protocol=5)
assert pickle.loads(data) == b"foo"

Detailed documentation can be found in PEP 574 and the standard pickle documentation.
