Pickle uses different protocols
to convert your data to a binary stream.
In python 2 there are 3 different protocols (0
, 1
, 2
) and the default is 0
.
In python 3 there are 5 different protocols (0
, 1
, 2
, 3
, 4
) and the default is 3
.
You must specify in python 3 a protocol lower than 3
in order to be able to load the data in python 2. You can specify the protocol
parameter when invoking pickle.dump
.
