Thatks for catching that.  Unfortunatly, that's just a
function of me editing the example.  I ment to edit that out
and instead took out the exception I was trying to show. 
Here's what I ment to demonstrate:

>>> import array
>>> import pickle
>>> a=array.array('B')
>>> s= pickle.dumps(a,2);s
'\x80\x02carray\narray\nq\x00)\x81q\x01.'
>>> pickle.loads(s)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 1394, in loads
    return Unpickler(file).load()
  File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 872, in load
    dispatch[key](self)
  File "C:\Python24\lib\pickle.py", line 1097, in load_newobj
    obj = cls.__new__(cls, *args)
TypeError: array() takes at least 1 argument (0 given)

The part of the problem appears to be with dumps(), as the
same string is returned independent of the array provided:

>>> pickle.dumps(array.array('B'),2)
'\x80\x02carray\narray\nq\x00)\x81q\x01.'
>>> pickle.dumps(array.array('B', [1,2,3,4,5]),2)
'\x80\x02carray\narray\nq\x00)\x81q\x01.'
>>> pickle.dumps(array.array('B', [230,]*100),2)
'\x80\x02carray\narray\nq\x00)\x81q\x01.'
>>> pickle.dumps(array.array('H', [1,2,3,4,5]),2)
'\x80\x02carray\narray\nq\x00)\x81q\x01.'
