[Python] Kernel crashed while dumping via pickle, 'EOFError: Ran out of input' when trying to...

As described, was in the process of writing to an existing pkl file when the Spyder kernel crashed and restarted.

Attempting to read pickle contents to see what had saved gave the below error.

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "/tmp/ipykernel_363621/4257573313.py", line 2, in <module>
[book_df,levels,levels_df,clean_book,clean_levels,time_labels,esu_l2,esu_tos,p_m] = pickle.load(h)

EOFError: Ran out of input


Have found a number of related questions but none of the remedies appear to resolve the issue.

Can confirm .pkl file I'm reading/writing to still exists in same location. Have included code I'm running below:

with open('/home/chris/data/ng/depth.pkl', 'rb') as h:
[book_df,levels,levels_df,clean_book,clean_levels,time_labels,esu_l2,esu_tos,p_m] = pickle.load(h)

[book_df,levels,levels_df,clean_book,clean_levels,time_labels,esu_l2,esu_tos,p_m] = pickle.load(h)

EOFError: Ran out of input


Have tried the below to close the file (assuming it's locked as a result of Spyder crashing before it could be closed previously). Neither remedy the error.

open('/home/chris/data/ng/depth.pkl', 'a').close()


..

f = open('/home/chris/data/ng/depth.pkl', 'rb')
f.close()
