Python object notation (PyON) is designed for literal representation of objects based on the syntax of the python language.

In PyON we have attempted to join the pickle protocol and current syntax of the python language for reconstructable literal representation of python objects.

There some features of PyON:

• PyON dosn't use exec or eval during object reconstruction anyway.
• PyON allows a programmer to manage the process of resolving names.
• PyON supports raw and "pretty" string dumping mode.

Package pyon implements dump/load facilities based on PyON.
