Solution

I just found out the solution myself.

The cache object created by different python version are incompatible. A cache object created while running Python 2.2 could not be loaded after switching to Python 2.3 and vice versa.
Solution: Delete the cache subdirectory under your moin/data directory. -- GuidoZockoll

• Yep. See HelpOnUpdatingPython.

  • also: Delete any compiled .pyc files under data/plugin -- FenLabalme

I changed the code (in 1.3beta) to catch ANY exception when unmarshalling. So it will just recreate the cache for next try. -- ThomasWaldmann 2004-11-21 15:53:53
