Sorry, but is the feature request related to constructing a safe
unpickler ? If yes, then I suppose this issue should be closed and an
appropriate one be created.

Nevertheless, reading the following comment at pickletools.py (trunk)
makes me think this feature request won't be done, not in the pickle
module at least:

"Another independent change with Python 2.3 is the abandonment of any
pretense that it might be safe to load pickles received from untrusted
parties -- no sufficient security analysis has been done to guarantee
this and there isn't a use case that warrants the expense of such an
analysis."
