When trying to UnPickle the attached database.db file, I get a 
NullPointerException in UnPickler's load() method when the found key 
equals INST.
This points to the function load_inst() which in turn points to 
find_class(...,...) where it appears that "dict" is null.
I'm not an experienced Python programmer, I just use the cPickle 
functionality to read from a Python-generated db-file. I have access to 
the code which generates the file, but as I'm not a Python programmer, I 
hardly understand it. Hope that anyone can resolve this issue I'm 
having.

We can't reproduce it with just the database.db file, it fails while 
trying to lookup the associated classes:

>>> load(open('database.db'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named myo_achievement

There's been no response for a while, so closing this issue out. Please reopen the bug if you can provide a test case we can fully reproduce
