I am wondering if, and if so which guarantees there are about the pickle module when using pickle.dump. Specifically for my problem I am pickling list[T] where T can be bool, int, decimal, time, date, datetime, timedelta or str, so the list is homogeneous (one type per list). I wonder if it is guaranteed that lists that would be equal in python are also guaranteed to have the same pickled result, at least for the types given. I couldn't find any guarantees online, but from some basic testing I couldn't find a case where the data would be different. So TL;DR: Given two list[T] where T is bool | int | decimal | time | date | datetime | timedelta | str that are equal in python, will the resulting pickle.dump() objects also be equal?
