Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "<console>", line 1, in <module>

Also, can I access those items ...

Error message should appear after line starting with "File". Above

With Windows XP and Python 2.5.4 I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute
'dump'
