Is the program that reads the pickle file the same one that
was used to write it?

If not, what might be happening is that the writing program
has module X at the top level instead of inside package Y.
Then it will get pickled simply under the name "X" instead
of "Y.X", and the reading program will expect to find it at
the top level as well.

It's important that the reading and writing programs agree
about the location of the pickled classes in the package
namespace, unless you take steps to customise the pickling
process.
