AttributeError when unpickling an object

Question

I\'m trying to pickle an instance of a class in one module, and unpickle it in another.

Here\'s where I pickle:

import cPickle

def pickleObject():
          


        

Answer 1

Jeremy Brown had the right answer, here is a more concrete version of the same point:

import cPickle
import myFooDefiningModule
def pickleObject():
    object = myFooDefiningModule.Foo()
    savefile = open('path/to/file', 'w')
    cPickle.dump(object, savefile)

and:

import cPickle
import myFooDefiningModule
savefile = open('path/to/file', 'r')
object = cPickle.load(savefile)

such that Foo lives in the same namespace in each piece of code.
