I have a problem using Pickle inside a class object.

The following code works:

m2 = markov_model.MarkovModel()
m2 =  pickle.load(open("prueba", 'rb'))

Given the second line, the first is totally useless.

print m2.n

However, if I create the following method inside markov_model.MarkovModel:
def load_model_from_file(self, name):
        try:
                file = open(name, 'rb')                 
                self = pickle.load(file)        

This doesn't work - or, more exactly, this doesn't work the way you expect it to work !-)

Remember that there's nothing magical with 'self' - it's just a local name in a function. Rebinding it within the function's body only affects the function's local namespace.

What you want is to make load_model_from_file a classmethod and make it return the unpickled object instead.

                
                file.close()
except pickle.PicklingError: print "PicklingError"

Useless exception handling - you lose all the relevant informations.

and then run:

m2 = markov_model.MarkovModel()
m2.load_model_from_file("prueba")
print m2.n

it says that 'MarkovModel' object has no attribute 'n'. If the printing of
'n' i put it inside (at the end) of the method load_model_from_file as
'print self.n' it works.

Indeed - at this stage, the *local* 'self' name has been rebound to the unpickled object.

Also and fwiw, if you expect a MarkovModel instance to have a 'n' attribute, you should bind it (at least to a sensible default value) in the class __init__ method.

How can i solve this?

cf above.
