Thanks Gabriel,

Indeed, there is corrupted copy_reg.py file residing in my $PYTHONPATH folder, as opposed to the standard one from the installed package. Thanks a lot for your helps!

Regards,

Looking at cPickle.c, it imports the copy_reg module and then looks for  
its "_extension_registry" attribute. Maybe your copy_reg.py is broken, or  
you have another copy_reg.py hiding the standard one.
