A simple way to provoke the error is to rebind the name referring to the class of the pickled object: >>> import cPickle >>> class A(object): pass ... >>> p = cPickle.dumps(A(), -1) >>> cPickle.loads(p) <__main__.A object at 0x7fce7bb58c50> >>> A = 42 >>> cPickle.loads(p) Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> cPickle.UnpicklingError: NEWOBJ class argument isn't a type object You may be doing something to that effect. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
