almost ran into a potentially big problem.

with python's `pickle` library, nonetheless.

turns out all I had to do to get around it was change `import pickle` to `import dill as pickle`.

i love python sometimes.

A remote SQLite database where huge blobs of JSON created by python’s pickle module were stored in a single cell. These blobs include things that should have been many-to-many, like users and competitions. This database (including the pickled python objects) was queried by API calls from an iOS app.

Beat that...!
