TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str' while loading with pickle

Question

I\'m using Python 3.6 and Spyder (Anaconda). I have tried many things but nothing worked out. I don\'t know why this error is coming always to me while loading with pickle.

Answer 1

You need to open your file as a binary file:

pickle.loads(open("accounts.txt", 'rb').read())

Otherwise, it's using an str to read the data.
