What version of Wing are you using?  I was unable to reproduce this in 3.1.8 or 3.2 beta1
using the following code:

import pickle
import sys
s = pickle.dumps(sys.stdout)

It does include the "TypeError: can't pickle file objects" in the Exceptions
tool.

The missing locals() may be related if something more general is going wrong.
If this is reproducible, please set the Debugger / Advanced / Debug Internals
Log File preference and collect a log of a run that shows this.  Sending also
the IDE-side log w/ a bug report from Wing's help menu may also be useful.

Note that using the Debug Probe to look around is a work-around if you're
using Wing Pro.

Thanks,
