I could do that, and maybe my example simplified what I wanted to do too much. I will be streaming more complicated objects (e.g. tuples or dictionaries containing ROOT objects). Python's pickle is very nice for that since it requires minimal setup, both for writing and reading.

No, in python they are python objects and in ruby they are ruby objects etc. ;)
