ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 5
Reason for the error
You will get an error message saying "ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 5" when you are trying to load a Python object that has been pickled using a protocol version that is not supported by your current Python environment.
Note: From Python 3.8, the default pickle protocol has been changed to version 5. If you try to load a pickle file created with protocol version 5 in an earlier Python version, you will get this error.
How to fix this error
- One of the fixes can be to update to Python version 3.8 or higher.
- Or, you can specify the protocol for pickle in your code explicitly,
import pickle validation_data = {"age": "22"} with open("data.pkl", "wb") as file: pickle.dump(validation_data, file, protocol=4)
