Unless it's part of something imported from Twisted, I haven't used 
cPickle.py in my source and I can't find anything like "dump = None". 
I tried the two lines above in the Python shell starting from where I 
run mktap from, and from my package's directory. In all cases, it 
resulted in the following traceback:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__file__'

I had just made some modifications to my app, and was running it 
through mktap so I could test them. I didn't make any changes to 
Twisted itself.

Thanks,
Bradley Peters.
