[Bug 197509] Re: quodlibet.py crashed with ImportError in load()

[Steven Robertson]

Please note that quodlibet currently uses Python pickles to store
library data, which are not versioned. Newer versions of quodlibet
automatically 'upgrade' their pickled library (by incorporating API
changes into the objects being stored). Older versions are unaware of
these changes and will cause a crash.

It appears that this, and bug 283065, are instances of attempts to
downgrade the library. This will not be supported (because it's really
really hard to do that with a pickle). Newer versions of the software
will use a different on-disk format for the library which will not be
version-dependent.
