A Python package which provides tools to convert files to and from IDX format (described at http://yann.lecun.com/exdb/mnist/) into numpy.ndarray.
idx2numpy package provides a tool for converting files to and from
IDX format to numpy.ndarray. You can meet files in IDX format,
e.g. when you're going to read the MNIST database of handwritten digits provided by Yann LeCun.
The description of IDX format also can be found on this page.
The easiest way to install is by using pip to pull it from PyPI:
pip install idx2numpy
You can also clone the Git repository from Github and install the package manually:
git clone https://github.com/ivanyu/idx2numpy.git
python setup.py install
import idx2numpy
# Reading
ndarr = idx2numpy.convert_from_file('myfile.idx')
f_read = open('myfile.idx', 'rb')
ndarr = idx2numpy.convert_from_file(f_read)
s = f_read.read()
ndarr = idx2numpy.convert_from_string(s)
# Writing
idx2numpy.convert_to_file('myfile_copy.idx', ndarr)
f_write = open('myfile_copy2.idx', 'wb')
idx2numpy.convert_to_file(f_write, ndarr)
s = convert_to_string(ndarr)
