Answer 1

Pickle is not safe when transfered by a untrusted 3rd party. Local files are just fine, and if something can replace files on your filesystem then you have a different problem.

That said, if your dictionary contains nothing but string keys and the values are nothing but Python lists, numbers, strings or other dictionaries, then use JSON, via the json module.
