"""
dill: a utility for serialization of python objects

Based on code written by Oren Tirosh and Armin Ronacher.
Extended to a (near) full set of the builtin types (in types module),
and coded to the pickle interface, by <mmckerns@caltech.edu>.
Initial port to python3 by Jonathan Dobson, continued by mmckerns.
Test against "all" python types (Std. Lib. CH 1-15 @ 2.7) by mmckerns.
Test against CH16+ Std. Lib. ... TBD.
