Hello, I´m trying to save and load objects using pickle module. First I declare my objects:

>>> class Fruits:pass
...
>>> banana = Fruits()

>>> banana.color = 'yellow'
>>> banana.value = 30

After that I open a file called 'Fruits.obj'(previously I created a new .txt file and I renamed 'Fruits.obj'):

>>> import pickle
>>> filehandler = open(b"Fruits.obj","wb")
>>> pickle.dump(banana,filehandler)

After do this I close my session and I began a new one and I put the next (trying to access to the object that it supposed to be saved):

file = open("Fruits.obj",'r')
object_file = pickle.load(file)

But I have this message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python31\lib\pickle.py", line 1365, in load
encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load()
ValueError: read() from the underlying stream did notreturn bytes

I don´t know what to do because I don´t understand this message. Does anyone know How I can load my object 'banana'? Thank you!

EDIT: As some of you have sugested I put:

>>> import pickle
>>> file = open("Fruits.obj",'rb')

There were no problem, but the next I put was:

>>> object_file = pickle.load(file)

And I have error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "C:\Python31\lib\pickle.py", line 1365, in load
encoding=encoding, errors=errors).load()
EOFError
