  <p>I'm using python to access a database which is managed by a Drupal install. The data I want to access in Drupal in saved in the database as a PHP serialized object.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any pre-built python modules which can deserialize a PHP serialized object into a python object? I've done some searching and come up with nothing.</p>
  
  <p>I realize I could write my own parser from scratch but I'd rather use something thats been tried and tested.</p>
