yes I know the main usage is to generate pyc files. But marshal is also used for other stuff and is the fastest built in serialization method. For some use cases it makes sense to use it instead of pickle or others. And people use it not only to generate pyc files.
marshall is not guaranteed to be backward compatible between Python versions, so it's generally not a good idea to use it for serialization.
