[Baypiggies] pickle misbehavior

[Vikram K]

tried with f = open('totalpepfinalpickle.txt', 'b') and got the following
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\K\filtertest3.py", line 40, in <module>
    f = open ('totalpepfinalpickled.txt', 'b')
ValueError: mode string must begin with one of 'r', 'w', 'a' or 'U', not 'b'
>>>

Also tried with f = open('totalpepfinalpickle.txt', 'rb') and got the usual
error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\K\filtertest3.py", line 42, in <module>
    x = pickle.load(f)
ValueError: insecure string pickle
