Pickle files should be considered incompatible between Python 2 and Python 3. Python 3 interprets all bytes objects saved by Python 2 as str and attempts to decode them under some unicode locale. The default locale is ASCII, so it will simply just fail in most cases if the files contain any binary data. Failing by default is also the right thing to do, since the saved bytes objects might actually represent strings in some locale, and ASCII is the safest guess. This behavior is that of Python's pickle module, and does not depend on Numpy. _______________________________________________ NumPy-Discussion mailing list NumPy-Discussion@scipy.org http://mail.scipy.org/mailman/listinfo/numpy-discussion
