Dill extends Python's pickle module for serializing and de-serializing Python objects to the majority of the built-in Python types. Dill provides the user the same interface as the pickle module, and also includes some additional features. In addition to pickling Python objects, dill provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter session in a single command. Hence, it would be feasible to save a interpreter session, close the interpreter, ship the pickled file to another computer, open a new interpreter, unpickle the session and thus continue from the saved state of the original interpreter session.
