I want to search surfs in all images in a given directory and save their keypoints and descriptors for future use. I decided to use pickle as shown below:

```
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os
import pickle
import cv2

class Frame:
  def __init__(self, filename):
    surf = cv2.SURF(500, 4, 2, True)
    self.filename = filename
    self.keypoints, self.descriptors = surf.detect(cv2.imread(filename, cv2.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE), None, False)

if __name__ == '__main__':

  Fdb = open('db.dat', 'wb')
  base_path = "img/"
  frame_base = []

  for filename in os.listdir(base_path):
    frame_base.append(Frame(base_path+filename))
    print filename

  pickle.dump(frame_base,Fdb,-1)

  Fdb.close()

```

When I try to execute, I get a following error:

```
File "src/pickle_test.py", line 23, in <module>
    pickle.dump(frame_base,Fdb,-1)
...
pickle.PicklingError: Can't pickle <type 'cv2.KeyPoint'>: it's not the same object as cv2.KeyPoint

```

Does anybody know, what does it mean and how to fix it? I am using Python 2.6 and Opencv 2.3.1

Thank you a lot
