When I run it, the system gave me the feedback below:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "geek_translator3.py", line 4, in <module>
import pickle
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.5/pickle.py", line 13, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'dump'
I don't understand, I don't write anything about pickle.py, why it mentioned?
what's wrong with "import pickle"? I read many examples online whose
has "import pickle", they all run very well.
Thank you!
