Hi Peter,

A related question.


Is there anyhing like a built in signature which would help to detect,
that one tries to unpickle an object whose byte code has changed?

The idea is to distinguish old and new pickled data and start some
'migration code' fi required


The only thing, that I thought about so far was adding an explicit
version number to each class in order to detect such situations.
