Prefect Community

The task decorator on the function looked like this:
```@task(
    checkpoint=True,
    result=GCSResult(
        bucket="my-bucket",
        location=RESULT_LOCATION_FORMAT,
        serializer=PickleSerializer(),
    )
)```


Hi Zach,

Provided you have the same libraries present in the environment you're unpickling in (same python version, prefect, etc...), you should be able to download the file from GCS and load it with `pickle.load`:

```with open("your-file", "rb") as f:
    data = pickle.load(f)```

In general - all prefect serializers have a deserializer method to load a result from bytes.

```serializer = TheSerializerYouUsed()

with open("your-file", "rb") as f:
    serialized_bytes = f.read()
data = serializer.deserialize(serialized_bytes)```
