Ok, Zope has something called ppml.py which aims at converting Python pickles to XML. It doesn't really pickle directly to XML though and e.g. uses the Python encoding for various objects.

I guess, I'll start hacking away at my own xmlpickle.py implementation with the goal of making Python pickles editable using a XML editor.
