With earlier numpy and scipy versions, the results of such operations are undefined and usually unexpected. Use fromstring with stringio in order to read from gzip files or the recently added loadtxt command. This allows numpy to seamlessly and speedily integrate with a wide variety of databases. Hi, i was trying to read directly from a compressed file.
This page provides python code examples for omfile. Download the data and work with it directly in your machine. Numpy scipy functions will almost always be faster. You can vote up the examples you like or vote down the ones you dont like. If nothing is specified, the original name is used.
It only works with objects that can be considered file objects on the operating system level. After extraction you should get two data files of images and labels of sizes around 47.
