如何访问 Python 文件（.pkl、pickle）中的数据？

Question

New here and figured this would be the perfect place to ask a quick question.

I've been struggling to access the data from this webpage: http://sidekick.epfl.ch/data

I need to access the data for my thesis, but the "example.py" file that is supposed to run and explain how to use the data simply doesn't. I've also never encountered ".pkl" files in the past which is making things harder.

I haven't had any problem with the npy files, but I'd love to get some help so I can run all the files and get a full picture of the data. If anyone knows how, could you please explain the procedure to me? I only have a basic understanding of the concepts.

Thank you all very much for your help,

Marc

You can load pickle files as follows. Don't forget to add "rb" to the open method, as you need to open the file in binary mode.

import pickle

with open(path, "rb") as f:
    content = pickle.load(f)
