- A new pickle protocol (protocol 3) is added with explicit support
for bytes. This is the default protocol. It intentionally cannot be unpickled by Python 2.x. - When a pickle written by Python 2.x contains an (8-bit) str instance, this is now decoded to a (Unicode) str instance. The encoding used to do this defaults to ASCII, but can be overridden via two new keyword arguments to the Unpickler class. Previously this would create bytes instances, which is usually wrong: str instances are often used to pickle attribute names etc., and text is more common than binary data anyway.
