  • Now uses pickle protocol 4

  • Doesn't wrap the grammar's __dict__ in ordered dictionaries anymore as
    dictionaries in Python 3.6+ are ordered by default

This still produces deterministic pickles (that hash the same with MD5).
Tested with different PYTHONHASHSEED values.

This seems like a very good idea. The grammar pickle is a cache.

I wish we'd generate it at CPython build time rather than ever do the runtime load and save a cache thing. But that's a separate feature request.

Yeah, and that cache is over twice as small with protocol 4 :)

Yeah, that would make my life easier ;)
