pickle

[jenya56]

Dear all,
I have the following error:
"CPickle.dump(l oclist,fout) Memory Error". This error occurs when I am trying to use the function "Locations_to_f ile" (see below) as I think my object loclist is too big.

    def Locations_to_file(loclist,fname):
          '''Routine to help write a list of location objects to a file'''
          try:
            fount = open(fname,"wb")
            cPickle.dump(loclist,fout)  # this is the line it complains about
            fout.close()
          except IOError, e:
              raise(e)
    #Locations_to file

Any suggestions please. Thanks.

Please use code tags when posting code. See posting guidelines here.

It's hard to say what your problem is without knowing what loclist is. Some objects just won't pickle. I don't understand pickle enough to suggest a possble problem without knowing more.

I suppose it's not as simple as changing fount -> fout in your code? Otherwise let us know about loclist - doubt that size is an issue.
