Here is a snippet of code that is causing an error

import pickle
amount_of_accounts = pickle.load( open( "savek.p", "rb" ) )

This gives the error:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Python.py", line 4, in (module)
    amount_of_accounts = pickle.load( open( "savek.p", "rb" ) )
EOFError: Ran out of input

Your error is typical of pickle file savek.p that exists, but is empty.

When I replace the actual pickle file contents with the following text:

Output:
xxx yyy zzz

the following Traceback error occurs:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Pickle-002.py", line 4, in <module>
    favorite_yankees = pickle.load( open( "Pickle-001.p", "rb" ) )
_pickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, 'x'.

When I replace the actual pickle file contents with the following text:

Output:
hello world
this is a corrupted pickle file

the following Traceback error occurs:

Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Pickle-002.py", line 4, in <module>
    favorite_yankees = pickle.load( open( "Pickle-001.p", "rb" ) )
KeyError: 101

Please note that the pickle file has a non-ASCII (non utf-8) hex format that is not meant to be edited.

I fixed it myself. I just had to dump it, then remove the code
