(synopsis "Serialize all of Python")
(description "Dill extends Python's @code{pickle} module for serializing
and de-serializing Python objects to the majority of the built-in Python
types. Dill provides the user the same interface as the @code{pickle} module,
and also includes some additional features. In addition to pickling Python
objects, @code{dill} provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter
session in a single command. Hence, it would be feasable to save a
interpreter session, close the interpreter, ship the pickled file to another
computer, open a new interpreter, unpickle the session and thus continue from
the saved state of the original interpreter session.")
