Abstract
===============================================================================
As has been initially described in my proposal, my work until midterm involved 
improving the python version of pickle with the suggestions in PEP 3154 [1].

The progress so far has been tagged in the picklev4 repository at [2], under
the tag pickle4-midterm.
