Glad you got it sorted!

I noticed on the gensim list the question about what benefit it would have to use the
latest Pyro version over the 4.18 version - if you know you require pickle, and won't
benefit at all from the new serializer support.

This is a good question really.

While most of the changes since 4.18 deal with the multiple-serializer support, there
are also a couple of bugfixes that are unrelated. Most notably the fix for denial of
service vulnerability, and the fix in the poll server loop. The LOGWIRE and lowercase
uri features can also be a nice thing to have.

Bottom line: sticking with an older version is convenient, but you'll miss out on
improvements and fixes made along the way.
