ile, 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]) )
