pypickle

pypickle is a user-friendly Python library for saving and loading data using the pickle format. Unlike the standard pickle module, pypickle puts safety first—offering built-in validation, extension checks, and protection against common exploits. Whether you're persisting models, storing session data, or sharing files, pypickle makes serialization easy and more secure. Ideal for developers who care about both convenience and peace of mind. ⭐️ Star it if you like it ⭐️

Key Features

For security reasons, pickle files are validated by checking the inner modules before loading. Twenty modules are classified as high-risk (see here) and can not be loaded without validation.
