Python : pickle.load() only returns the first value of the file












0















I'm creating a very basic program that stores a dictionary of words translated from English to French, for example :



I'm storing all those values in a file that I append and read using the pickle function.



The problem is that when I use pickle.load to read the file and then print it, only the first value is returned.



I can't see where is my error, and I've been looking everywhere without getting any answer.
Thanks in advance.



import pickle
import os

clear=lambda:os.system("cls")

def pause():
input("Press ENTER to continue.")

def print_dictionary(dct):
print("Dictionary (English / French)")
for wordenglish, wordfrench in dct.items():
print("{} : {}".format(wordenglish, wordfrench))

dictionary={}
for loop in range(3):
wordEnglish=input("Enter the word in English : ")
wordFrench=input("Enter the word in French : ")
pause()
clear()
print("Saving ...")
dictionary[wordEnglish]=wordFrench
with open("data","ab") as file:
pickler=pickle.Pickler(file)
pickler.dump(dictionary)
print("Saved !")
pause()
with open("data","rb") as file:
unpickler=pickle.Unpickler(file)
dictionary_get=unpickler.load()
print_dictionary(dictionary_get)
pause()


For example, if I enter "Fire","Feu" / "Water","Eau" / "Mud","Boue", the only value I will get will be "Fire","Feu".

  • Because you save each item separately inside the loop, overwriting the pickle file each time.

  • @DanielRoseman no they are using 'ab' mode. The problem is that .load won't keep trying to load once it deserializes an object. You have to keep calling .load

  • However, why are you progressively dumping incremental versions of your dict?

  • @DanielRoseman No, because when I open the data file I can clearly see all the values are here.

  • What do you mean by "keep calling .load" ? @juanpa.arrivillaga As for dumping incremental versions of my dict, it's just because I don't know any other way to do this ...
