Is there a text version of pickle?

Is there a Python serialization format that has capabilities similar to Pickle, but is text based?

The problem I always have with pickle is that it's binary, so I can't manually view or edit the data.

The standard library includes json, but that requires a tedious converting of types at read and write.
