 Not all Python object types are supported; in general, only objects whose value
 is independent from a particular invocation of Python can be written and read by
-this module.  The following types are supported: ``None``, integers,
-floating point numbers, strings, bytes, bytearrays, tuples, lists, sets,
-dictionaries, and code objects, where it should be understood that tuples, lists

 There are functions that read/write files as well as functions operating on
 strings.
