    pickle/marshal internal format 'life expectancy'/backwardcompatibility

    Hi,


    I am looking into using the pickle format to store object/complex data
    structures into a smart card as it would make the design of the embedded
    application very simple.

    Yet the card might have to stay in the pocket of the customer for a few
    years, during which the back office application responsible for
    retrieving the information from the card might evolve as well as the
    python release it relies upon.

    Is there a commitment for python releases to be able to interpret
    'older' pickle/marshal internal formats ?

    Regards,


    Philippe
