title: Cannot properly pickle file and keep getting unicode error?
body: <p>Hi I'm new to the use of pickle in python, and been struggling with properly pickling a file.
  Say I want to pickle this file (linked file to my dropbox): 
  <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/9fyfe9e75fetfwv/tester.pickle?dl=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.dropbox.com/s/9fyfe9e75fetfwv/tester.pickle?dl=0</a></p>
  
  <p>I tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>import pickle
  file1= open('tester.pickle','rb')
  tester = pickle.load(file1)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This gave me unicode error saying that </p>
  
  <p>"ascii codec can't decode byte 0xf9"</p>
  
  <p>So I've been looking around, searching and said somehow about using utf.
  <br> 
  so I tried: </p>
  
  <pre><code>file1 = open('tester.pickle', 'rb')
  tester = file.read()
  text1 = tester.decode("utf8")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now it doesn't call in unicode error, but when I try to read the file, it just prints bunch of x@!# numbers. </p>
  
  <p>Please help me fix this!
  I am totally lost.
  Sorry I don't know how to directly upload the pickle file here. 
  <br>
  Thank you. </p>
