pickled objects won't work this way unless you "customize" the way in which your class gets serialized. See: http://docs.python.org/library/pickle.html#the-pickle-protocol Any time you want to unpickle a user class, that class must be available. I suggest serializing to a more common format (say JSON) and re-create your class with the data. cheers James -- -- James Mills -- -- "Problems are solved by method" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
