numpy.load()

numpy.load(file, mmap_mode=None, allow_pickle=True, fix_imports=True, encoding='ASCII') [source]

Load arrays or pickled objects from .npy, .npz or pickled files.

Parameters:

Parameters:	file : file-like object or string The file to read. File-like objects must support the `seek()` and `read()` methods. Pickled files require that the file-like object support the `readline()` method as well. mmap_mode : {None, ?r+?, ?r?, ?w+?, ?c?}, optional If not None, then memory-map the file, using the given mode (see `numpy.memmap` for a detailed description of the modes). A memory-mapped array is kept on disk. However, it can be accessed and sliced like any ndarray. Memory mapping is especially useful for accessing small fragments of large files without reading the entire file into memory. allow_pickle : bool, optional Allow loading pickled object arrays stored in npy files. Reasons for disallowing pickles include security, as loading pickled data can execute arbitrary code. If pickles are disallowed, loading object arrays will fail. Default: True fix_imports : bool, optional Only useful when loading Python 2 generated pickled files on Python 3, which includes npy/npz files containing object arrays. If `fix_imports` is True, pickle will try to map the old Python 2 names to the new names used in Python 3. encoding : str, optional What encoding to use when reading Python 2 strings. Only useful when loading Python 2 generated pickled files on Python 3, which includes npy/npz files containing object arrays. Values other than ?latin1?, ?ASCII?, and ?bytes? are not allowed, as they can corrupt numerical data. Default: ?ASCII?
Returns:	result : array, tuple, dict, etc. Data stored in the file. For `.npz` files, the returned instance of NpzFile class must be closed to avoid leaking file descriptors.
Raises:	IOError If the input file does not exist or cannot be read. ValueError The file contains an object array, but allow_pickle=False given.

file : file-like object or string

The file to read. File-like objects must support the seek() and read() methods. Pickled files require that the file-like object support the readline() method as well.

mmap_mode : {None, ?r+?, ?r?, ?w+?, ?c?}, optional

If not None, then memory-map the file, using the given mode (see numpy.memmap for a detailed description of the modes). A memory-mapped array is kept on disk. However, it can be accessed and sliced like any ndarray. Memory mapping is especially useful for accessing small fragments of large files without reading the entire file into memory.

allow_pickle : bool, optional

Allow loading pickled object arrays stored in npy files. Reasons for disallowing pickles include security, as loading pickled data can execute arbitrary code. If pickles are disallowed, loading object arrays will fail. Default: True

fix_imports : bool, optional

Only useful when loading Python 2 generated pickled files on Python 3, which includes npy/npz files containing object arrays. If fix_imports is True, pickle will try to map the old Python 2 names to the new names used in Python 3.

encoding : str, optional

What encoding to use when reading Python 2 strings. Only useful when loading Python 2 generated pickled files on Python 3, which includes npy/npz files containing object arrays. Values other than ?latin1?, ?ASCII?, and ?bytes? are not allowed, as they can corrupt numerical data. Default: ?ASCII?

Returns:

result : array, tuple, dict, etc.

Data stored in the file. For .npz files, the returned instance of NpzFile class must be closed to avoid leaking file descriptors.

Raises:

IOError

If the input file does not exist or cannot be read.

ValueError

The file contains an object array, but allow_pickle=False given.

Notes

If the file contains pickle data, then whatever object is stored in the pickle is returned.
If the file is a .npy file, then a single array is returned.
If the file is a .npz file, then a dictionary-like object is returned, containing {filename: array} key-value pairs, one for each file in the archive.
If the file is a .npz file, the returned value supports the context manager protocol in a similar fashion to the open function:
```
with load('foo.npz') as data:
    a = data['a']
```
The underlying file descriptor is closed when exiting the ?with? block.

Examples

Store data to disk, and load it again:

>>> np.save('/tmp/123', np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]))
>>> np.load('/tmp/123.npy')
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])

Store compressed data to disk, and load it again:

>>> a=np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])
>>> b=np.array([1, 2])
>>> np.savez('/tmp/123.npz', a=a, b=b)
>>> data = np.load('/tmp/123.npz')
>>> data['a']
array([[1, 2, 3],
       [4, 5, 6]])
>>> data['b']
array([1, 2])
>>> data.close()

Mem-map the stored array, and then access the second row directly from disk:

>>> X = np.load('/tmp/123.npy', mmap_mode='r')
>>> X[1, :]
memmap([4, 5, 6])
