Maya : commandPort questions (pickleOutput)

Hello Everyone!

I’m looking at getting other software to talk with Maya. And with the latest version i noticed that there is a new flag, -pickleOutput(-po).

Is there someone here who has experience with this? It says that “output will be pickled”, does this mean that from my other software should send for instance a python list as pickled into maya and the commandport will unpickle this into a variable in Maya?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
