Can you be more specific about what you are doing, what you expect the
result to be, and what the actual result is?

http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#beprecise

If I try using pickle.dump with a socket, I do get an exception, but

>>> pickle.dump([1,2,3], sock)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: file must have a 'write' attribute
