Dill provides the user the same interface as the 'pickle' module, and also includes some additional features. In addition to pickling Python 3 objects, dill provides the ability to save the state of an interpreter session in a single command. Dill can be used to store Python 3 objects to a file, but the primary usage is to send Python 3 objects across the network as a byte stream.
