+zodbpickle: Fork of Python 3 pickle module.
+
+This package presents a uniform pickling interface for ZODB:
+
+- Under Python2, this package forks both Python 2.7's ``pickle`` and
+ ``cPickle`` modules, adding support for the ``protocol 3`` opcodes.
+ It also provides a new subclass of ``bytes``, ``zodbpickle.binary``,
+ which Python2 applications can use to pickle binary values such that
+ they will be unpickled as ``bytes`` under Py3k.
+
+- Under Py3k, this package forks the ``pickle`` module (and the
+ supporting C extension) from both Python 3.2 and Python 3.3.
+ The fork add support for the ``noload`` operations used by ZODB.
