Hi,
today I came across some weird behaviour (a bug?) in Python 2.7.13 (on
Linux) with the cPickle module. The pickle module works and so does the
pickle module in Python 3.
I have a file fn.py with a minimal function definition:
```
def fn():
pass
```
The actual code that I run is in a separate file (test.py):
```
import cPickle
import pickle
def load_pyfile(filename):
source = ''
with open(filename, 'r') as f:
source += f.read()
code = compile(source, filename, 'exec')
loaded = {'__file__': filename}
exec(code, loaded)
return loaded
fn = load_pyfile('fn.py')['fn']
print(pickle.dumps(fn))
print('----')
print(cPickle.dumps(fn))
```
The first print works fine, but the one with cPickle leads to an
exception. Here is the output:
```
c__main__
fn
p0
.
----
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 17, in <module>
print(cPickle.dumps(fn))
TypeError: expected string or Unicode object, NoneType found
```
I don't understand why the cPickle module behaves differently in this
case. Is this expected? And if so, how do I fix it? Or can this be
considered a bug? (In that case I could open an issue in the bug
tracker.)
Cheers, Jan
