ValueError when FileBasedCache is used in Python 3.7 — at Version 4

Description (last modified by mastizada)

Using FileBasedCache in Django 2.2.12 with Python 3.7.3 is giving ValueError: unsupported pickle protocol: 5

Checking the highest protocol version for pickle using pickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL is giving 4, so the protocol 5 is not available.

Line that is causing the error: filebased.py in _is_expired at line 146, exp = pickle.load(f).

Using Python 3.8.0 solves the problem.

Django 1.11 was the last version of Django to support Python 2.7

You likely serialized data using Python 3 and are trying to deserialize it using Python 2. Django 2.2 also doesn't support Python 2 at all.
