John,

I don't know much excepth that a Python Pickle is a storage format 
that Python uses. It can work, and does for our wonderful DBA lists, 
but it is a horribly inefficient storage medium. I almost wanted to 
call it a database, but it isn't that.

They only way that I know of to get at Python pickles is with Python, 
which is available for Windows. Precopmpiled or compile yourself from 
python.org

I know, not much help, eh...
