Pickle protocol version 4.0 was originally defined back in PEP 3154 and shipped as part of Python 3.4 back in 2011. Yet it's still not the default. There's a number of things that would run faster with it like multiprocessing.
This is too late for 3.7 which is a shame but can we at least bump it for 3.8?
It sounds like a reasonable request. Python 3.4 is out of commission by then. I'm sure the release manager for 3.8 is going to agree with you, too. :)
