The format of the pickle data is identical to that produced using the
\module{pickle} module, so it is possible to use \module{pickle} and
\module{cPickle} interchangably with existing pickles.
(Since the pickle data format is actually a tiny stack-oriented
programming language, and there are some freedoms in the encodings of
certain objects, it's possible that the two modules produce different
pickled data for the same input objects; however they will always be
able to read each others pickles back in.)
