Without sight of code it's only a guess but are you creating the file with the 'wb' mode - ie. write binary? :- myPickleFile = open("somefilename.dat", "wb") If you are not using the 'b' for binary pickle and shelve tend to run into problems, this might be one of those cases. Its not glaringly obvious from the docs that you need to use binary mode and beginners often get caught out.
