Hi,

I think his goal is not to load the data back into python, but to use
it to provide some
kind of REST-Style interface. An example would be, if you have a class
instance of
a record of a movie, that it could be simply encoded and send over the
wire to display.
Without necessarily recreating the class on the other end.
This would prevent any security risks from the deserialization.

But I am not sure how useful that PEP/Change would be, assuming the
code in Peter's response
works.
