Take it by parts:
file("cnumber.pickle", "r")
returns a file object as a result of opening the "cnumber.pickle" file,
which is presumably a pickle someone wrote earlier.
So
pickle.load(file("cnumber.pickle", "r"))
returns the first object stored in that pickle file.

The beginning of the docs on pickle usage says:
"""dump( obj, file[, protocol[, bin]])
Write a pickled representation of obj to the open file object file."""
Isn't this reasopnably self-explanatory?
