Message: [QUOTE="John Machin, post: 3163489"] The code that created the dictionary is interesting, but not very relevant. Please consider posting the code that is actually giving the error! The docs for pickle.load(file) say """ Read a string from the open file object file and interpret it as a pickle data stream, reconstructing and returning the original object hierarchy. This is equivalent to Unpickler(file).load(). file must have two methods, a read() method that takes an integer argument, and a readline() method that requires no arguments. Both methods should return a string. Thus file can be a file object opened for reading, a StringIO object, or any other custom object that meets this interface. """ The error message(s) [plural??] that you are getting suggest(s) that the argument that you supplied was *not* an open file object nor anything else with both a read and readline method. Open the file in binary mode ('rb') and pass the result to pickle.load. [/QUOTE]
