10 This module contains functions that can read and write Python values in a binary
11 format.  The format is specific to Python, but independent of machine
12 architecture issues (e.g., you can write a Python value to a file on a PC,
13 transport the file to a Sun, and read it back there).  Details of the format are
14 undocumented on purpose; it may change between Python versions (although it

24 writing the "pseudo-compiled" code for Python modules of :file:`.pyc` files.
25 Therefore, the Python maintainers reserve the right to modify the marshal format
