Serialize obj as a string of bytes allocated in memory

    protocol defaults to cloudpickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL which is an alias to
    pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL. This setting favors maximum communication speed
    between processes running the same Python version.

    Set protocol=pickle.DEFAULT_PROTOCOL instead if you need to ensure
    compatibility with older versions of Python.
