pickle.load(file) expects a file-like object. Instead, use:
Read a pickled object hierarchy from a string. Characters in the string past the pickled object’s representation are ignored.

The documentation mentions StringIO, which I think is one possible solution.
Try:
f = open("big_networkx_graph.pickle","rb")
bin_data = f.read()
sio = StringIO(bin_data)
graph_data = pickle.load(sio)
