Python3 help

Question

So I can't seem to get this to work right but my pickle isn't cooperating. Can someone please help me figure out this problem? Maybe suggest a better way. Also how to use dumps and loads in place of dump and load.

This is much appreciated friend. This is an old post though and I have been able to figure it out since the time of this posting! I've also discovered json, which is sooooo much easier for some reason
