any object that supports pickling.
file handles does not belong to that group (what did you expect
pickle to do with a file handle ?)
or did "object" refer to the Pickler instance? you don't really need to
bother with that; just use the dump *function* instead:
pickle.dump(object, file)
but if you insist on using your own Pickler instance, you have to save
the pickler instance in a variable, and call the dump method on that in-
stance:
myfile = open(somefilename, "wb")
mypickler = pickle.Pickler(myfile)
mypickler.dump(object)
