I'm sorry I am not prepared to read this much code. It is both courteous and 
helpful to reduce a problem to the smallest amount of code that still shows 
the bug. Read http://sscce.org/ for the details.

On the positive side, thank you for providing version info and tracebacks!

This one leads me to believe that you ran some of your code with Python 3 
and thus have accidentally created a pickle file that cannot be read by 
Python 2. Delete your existing pickle files and try again.

If it doesn't work out come back with a smaller more focused example.
