+ "Serpent provides ast.literal_eval() compatible object tree
+serialization. It serializes an object tree into bytes (utf-8 encoded string)
+that can be decoded and then passed as-is to ast.literal_eval() to rebuild it
+as the original object tree. As such it is safe to send serpent data to other
+machines over the network for instance (because only safe literals are
+encoded).")
