Hello- please help with unpickling problem:

I am using Python version 2.3.4 with IDLE version 1.0.3 on a Windows 
XPhome system.

My problem is with using cPickle to deserialize my pickled arrays of 
datetime.datetime instances.  The following is the code I have written:

        import cPickle, datetime
        import Numeric

#the file below contains a serialized dict with arrays of datetime 
#objects.  When these three statements run, the IDLE crashes!

        input1 = open('tsm2_outa','r')
        time1 = cPickle.load(input1)
        input1.close()

#the file below contains serialized dict with arrays of built-in objects
#it unpickles without any problem, when I omit the above unpickling 
#operation.

        input2 = open('tsm2_outb','rb')
        data1 = cPickle.load(input2)
        input2.close()

My guess is that I need to somehow tell the pickle.load command that it 
is loading datetime instances, but I have no idea how to do this.  Any 
help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Ming
