@ -11,13 +11,13 @@ values in a binary format. The format is specific to Python, but
independent of machine architecture issues (e.g., you can write a
Python value to a file on a PC, transport the file to a Sun, and read
it back there). Details of the format are undocumented on purpose;
it may change between Python versions (although it rarely does).%
\footnote{The name of this module stems from a bit of terminology used
by the designers of Modula-3 (amongst others), who use the term
``marshalling'' for shipping of data around in a self-contained form.
Strictly speaking, ``to marshal'' means to convert some data from
internal to external form (in an RPC buffer for instance) and

This particularly affects the use of very long integer literals in
Python modules --- these will be accepted by the parser on such
machines, but will be silently be truncated when the module is read
from the \file{.pyc} instead.%
\footnote{A solution would be to refuse such literals in the parser,
since they are inherently non-portable. Another solution would be to
let the \module{marshal} module raise an exception when an integer
value would be truncated. At least one of these solutions will be
implemented in a future version.}

There are functions that read/write files as well as functions
operating on strings.
