frozensets, dictionaries, and code objects, where it should be understood that
tuples, lists, sets, frozensets and dictionaries are only supported as long as
the values contained therein are themselves supported; and recursive lists, sets
and dictionaries should not be written (they will cause infinite loops). The

singletons :const:`None`, :const:`Ellipsis` and :exc:`StopIteration` can also be

For format *version* lower than 3, recursive lists, sets and dictionaries cannot
be written (see below).
There are functions that read/write files as well as functions operating on
strings.
