I'm the author of dill.

pickle and cPickle come in the python standard library. All you have to do is import them, and there they are. If you have python, you should have pickle and cPickle already… If you were instead using python 3.x, then there is no cPickle… it's been merged with pickle.

dill has a dump as well as a dumps. See the source here: https://github.com/uqfoundation/dill/blob/master/dill/dill.py#L121
