You are utilizing the pickle. load function to load objects into a program from a file. however, your program raises an exception as soon as the end of the file is reached. what must you do?

When the program raises an exception as soon as the end of the is reached, this exception makes the input process difficult. We have no specific or clear way to encounter the end of the file before the exception is raised.

So to resolve this Python's try except statement can be used. This statement catches the exception and enables the program to recover. We can construct an input file loop. This loop will keep loading objects until the end of the file is detected. Below is an example to load objects from the file into a new list.

lst=list()

fileObj = open("item.dat","rb")

while True:

try:

      item= pickle.load(fileObj)

      lst.append(item)

      except EOFError:

               fileObj.close()

               break

print(lst)

The file name is item.dat and new list is named as lst. When the end of the file is encountered EOFError is raised and except clause with EOFError closes the input file and breaks out of the loop.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
