Hi Alex,

Yeah, this one is going to be a little bit annoying to fix. Here's
what's going on: in between 3.1.1 and 3.2.3, fraction fields got moved
over to the new coercion model. This is good, but as it happens, the
switch was done in such a way that it caused the pre-existing pickles
to not load correctly (which is exactly what you're seeing). There's
probably a clean and classy way to fix this, and I'll be happy to look
at it carefully in a few weeks if no one beats me to it (I'm busy
trying to finish up my thesis). This is now trac #5419.

In the interim, you probably want to hack something together so that
you can load your pickles. I managed to make sage 3.2.3 load the
pickles, but it's a pretty ugly hack, and you'll still need to re-save
the objects as newer pickles (which actually has one or two more
wrinkles), so that you don't have to deal with this in the short term.
How many of these files are there? If it's just a few, e-mail them to
me off-list, and I'll just re-pickle them in a newer format and send
them back to you. If there are more than that, I'll carefully explain
how you can fix them yourself. :)
