I have a set of numpy arrays which I would like to save to a gzip
file. Here is an example without gzip:
b=numpy.ones(10 00000,dtype=num py.uint8)
a=numpy.zeros(1 000000,dtype=nu mpy.uint8)
fd = file('test.dat' ,'wb')
a.tofile(fd)
b.tofile(fd)
fd.close()
This works fine. However, this does not:
fd = gzip.open('test .dat','wb')
a.tofile(fd)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
IOError: first argument must be a string or open file
In the bigger picture, I want to be able to write multiple numpy
arrays with some metadata to a binary file for very fast reading, and
these arrays are pretty compressible (strings of small integers), so I
can probably benefit in speed and file size by gzipping.
Thanks,

Use
fd.write(a)
The documentation says that gzip simulates most of the methods of a
file object.
Apparently that means it does not subclass it. numpy.tofile wants a
file object
Or something like that.

Use
fd.write(a)
That seems to work fine. Just to add to the answer a bit, one can
then use:
b=numpy.frombuf fer(fd.read(),d type=numpy.uint 8)
to get the array back as a numpy uint8 array.
Thanks for the help.

As drobinow says, the .tofile() method needs an actual file object with a real
FILE* pointer underneath it. You will need to call fd.write() on strings (or
buffers) made from the arrays instead. If your arrays are large (as they must be
if compression helps), then you will probably want to split it up. Use
numpy.array_spl it() to do this. For example:
In [13]: import numpy
In [14]: a=numpy.zeros(1 000000,dtype=nu mpy.uint8)
In [15]: chunk_size = 256*1024
In [17]: import gzip
In [18]: fd = gzip.open('foo. gz', 'wb')
In [19]: for chunk in numpy.array_spl it(a, len(a) // chunk_size):
....: fd.write(buffer (chunk))
....:

File size perhaps, but I suspect the speed gains you get will be swamped by the
Python-level manipulation you will have to do to reconstruct the array. You will
have to read in (partial!) strings and then put the data into an array. If you
think compression will really help, look into PyTables. It uses the HDF5 library
which includes the ability to compress arrays with gzip and other compression
schemes. All of the decompression happens in C, so you don't have to do all of
the manipulations at the Python level. If you stand to gain anything from
compression, this is the best way to find out and probably the best way to
implement it, too. http://www.pytables.org
If you have more numpy questions, you will probably want to ask on the numpy
mailing list: http://www.scipy.org/Mailing_Lists

I am writing a Python extension module that needs a way to expose pieces
of a big C array to python. Currently, I am using NumPy like the following:

char*buf);
Users will get a Numeric Array object and can change its values (and
actually change the underlying C array).
