I'm sorry, but I'm terribly confused. Nothing seems to be working for me. I *think* what I need to pickle is an image file, but so far I think all I'm doing is passing the file handle in as the 'object', which probably isn't correct. How would I get the actual image object to pass in? But I also tried pickling a string and that didn't work either. I tried it both ways you suggest, but I can't get past the errors. I keep getting either AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dump' (when I use the function) or AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dump' (when I create an instance) Is there something special I need to do to use the pickle module? My program seems to recognize the import, but it keeps saying that nothing is an attribute of it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
