python confusion possibly related to pickle


I have a problem that I don't understand at all. I run a python script,
which uses pickle, and it fails. That alone is, perhaps, no big deal.

The problem that's got me annoyed is that after getting said error I
close the shell window, open a new one, run the python interpreter and
type "import pickle" and get the error that the script I'd run earlier
caused. Why is this ?

To my knowledge, once python stopped running it didn't store anything
related to the last time it was run.

Never mind. I solved it. I had a file called pickle in the same folder I
was in when I ran python, and that's the file it was trying to import.

Duh @ me :s

Well, what's the error? Sounds like your system could be b0rked (or
at least your python installation).. . but depending on the error,
there could be other explanations.

Nah, just a case of being in a directory of my home directory that has a
file called pickle.py in it. That file has a known error. I then ran
python interactively and typed "import pickle". As a result I end up
importing the file in my current directory instead of the python module
I want to import.

I was just being daft :-D

Hello all, Today I began writing a utility script that takes given binary files and puts them all into one datafile. My idea is to be able to access any binary data I want by indexing the datafile, e.g. wanted_image_data = datafileobj. The purpose is to hide external image files from the user in a simple game I'm writing. Though I have a good idea of how to implement this, before I begin I am curious to know if some Python master out...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
