Python-pickle error

[Tony Flury]

Charles,

by your own admission, you deleted your pkl file,

And your code doesn't write that pkl file (pickle.dumps(...) doesn't 
write a file it creates a new string and at no point will it write to 
the file :

What you need is this :

	import pickle
	number=2
	my_pickled_object=pickle.dumps(number)
	with open('file.pkl', 'w') as file:
    		file.write(my_pickled_object)
	print("this is my pickled object",{my_pickled_object},)

	del number # you can do this if you really want to test pickle.

	with open('file.pkl', 'r') as file:
     		number=pickle.load(file)

	my_unpickled_object=pickle.loads(my_pickled_object)
	print("this is my unpickled object",{my_unpickled_object},)

Note :  that the whole point of the pickle format is that you don't need 
to open and write/read files in binary format.
