Did you notice you have only one call to load() here? The others are
still dump().
>>> import pickle
>>> f = file('foo', 'ab')
>>> pickle.dump('foo', f)
>>> pickle.dump('bar', f)
>>> pickle.dump('baz', f)
>>> f.close()
>>> f = file('foo', 'rb')
>>> a = pickle.load(f)
>>> b = pickle.load(f)
>>> c = pickle.load(f)
>>> a,b,c
('foo', 'bar', 'baz')
Although, normally when I use pickle, I chuck everything into a tuple,
so I can store/retrieve it all with a single dump/load command..
