How about instead you help with fixing pickling of datetime objects? This broke when I fixed testpickle. Rolling back your changes to datetime pickling didn't seem to help.

Never mind; this was shallow -- cPickle doesn't pickle bytes correctly. I've decided to get rid of cPickle -- someone is writing a replacement for the summer of code anyway. The new approach will be that you always write "import pickle" and this transparently attempts to use the C accelerator if it can be imported, like heapq.py and _heapq.c.
