I wrote this python-script and everytime I run it, it is supposed to input some details that it has to take in addEmployee() method. When I press Enter to submit all the information it throws the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\ammar\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 122, in <module>
menu()
File "C:\Users\ammar\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 108, in menu
addEmployee()
File "C:\Users\ammar\PycharmProjects\pythonProject\main.py", line 35, in addEmployee
employees = pickle.load(f)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
EOFError: Ran out of input
Process finished with exit code 1
Additional information: I'm using Pycharm to do this and I have made a text file called employees.txt in the same folder where this program is stored
I don't know how to fix this any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
You are facing EOFError: Ran out of input error because you're trying to load a generic .txt file as a .pkl object. The file name should be as employees.pkl. Here's your corrected code:
import datetime
import pickle
import os
def addEmployee():
fullName = input("Enter full name: ")
employeeID = int(input("Enter employee ID: "))
department = input("Enter department: ")
doj = input("Enter date of joining (MM/DD/YYYY): ")
salary = int(input("Enter annual salary: "))
if len(fullName) == 0:
print("Please enter full name.")
return
if not 10000 <= employeeID <= 99999:
print("Employee ID should be in the range of 10000 and 99999.")
return
if department not in ["Marketing", "Finance", "Human Resource", "Technical"]:
print("Department should be Marketing, Finance, Human Resource, or Technical.")
return
try:
datetime.datetime.strptime(doj, "%m/%d/%Y")
except ValueError:
print("Invalid date of joining format.")
return
if not 30000 <= salary <= 200000:
print("Salary should be in the range of 30000 and 200000.")
return
if os.path.exists("employees.pkl") == False:
employees = []
with open("employees.pkl", "wb") as f:
pickle.dump(employees, f)
with open("employees.pkl", "rb") as f:
employees = pickle.load(f)
if employeeID in employees:
print("Employee with ID1 {} already exists.".format(employeeID))
return
employees.append({
"fullName": fullName,
"employeeID": employeeID,
"department": department,
"doj": doj,
"salary": salary
})
with open("employees.pkl", "wb") as f:
pickle.dump(employees, f)
print("Employee added successfully.")
def displayEmployees():
with open("employees.pkl", "rb") as f:
employees = pickle.load(f)
if len(employees) == 0:
print("No employees found.")
return
print("Employees:")
for employee in employees:
print(employee)
def deleteEmployee():
employeeID = int(input("Enter employee ID to delete: "))
with open("employees.pkl", "rb") as f:
employees = pickle.load(f)
if employeeID not in employees:
print("Employee with ID {} does not exist.".format(employeeID))
return
employees.remove({"employeeID": employeeID})
with open("employees.pkl", "wb") as f:

deleteEmployee()
elif ch == 3:
updateEmployee()
elif ch == 4:

elif ch == 5:
exit(0)
else:

menu()
Output:
1 to Add Employee
2 to Delete Employee
3 to Update Employee
4 to Display Employees
5 to Exit
Enter your Choice:1
Enter full name: rafi
Enter employee ID: 10001
Enter department: Technical
Enter date of joining (MM/DD/YYYY): 12/12/1998
Enter annual salary: 40001
Employee added successfully.
Also, I've made a few modifications to the code. You don't have to manually create a .pkl file, the first time you are running the code. This block of code will create an empty pickle file when you're running the script for the first time. From then, new entries will be saved to this 'employees.pkl` file.
if os.path.exists("employees.pkl") == False:
employees = []
with open("employees.pkl", "wb") as f:
pickle.dump(employees, f)
