OK, can you tell me import.py is empty or not? If it's not an empty

That was a typo in my message. I should have said pickle.py, not
import.py. When you import pickle, you're tell it to find and load
pickle.py. That's python source code, and it will generally import
other modules. I was suspecting module.py. But you should start by
looking at line 13 of pickle.py

This is where you told it to load import.py. Normally, that just quietly
loads the standard module included with your system.
<snip, rest of source>
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!
I don't have 2.5 any more, so I can't look at the same file you presumably
have. And line numbers will most likely be different in 2.6. In
particular, there are lots of module comments at the beginning of my version
of pickle.py. You should take a look at yours, and see what's in line 13.
My guess it's a reference to the dump() function which may be defined in the
same file. Perhaps in 2.5 it was defined elsewhere.
Most common cause for something like this would be that pickle imports some
module, and you have a module by that name in your current directory (or
elsewhere on the sys.path). So pickle gets an error after importing it,
trying to use a global attribute that's not there.
Wild guess - do you have a file called marshal.py in your own code?
