I have a npz file that looks like this.

data = np.load('Data_5_iteration.npz') # Load data from file
keys = list(data.keys()) # all keys in the dictionary
print(keys)

(base) hell@hell:~$ ['nodes', 'temperature', 'max_iter', 'best_error_vec', 'best_u_pred', 'final_error_vec', 'final_u_pred', 'best_iter', 'PDE_loss_array', 'BC_loss_array', 'total_loss_array']

I want to store all these numpy arrays in different arrays with the same name as in the list without writing them line by line.

For example, I don't want to write:

nodes = data[keys[0]]
temperature = data[keys[1]]
max_iter = data[keys[2]]
best_error_vec = data[keys[3]]
best_u_pred = data[keys[4]]
final_error_vec = data[keys[5]]
final_u_pred = data[keys[6]]
best_iter = data[keys[7]]
PDE_loss_array = data[keys[8]]
BC_loss_array = data[keys[9]]
total_loss_array = data[keys[10]]

Can I do this with some automated way?

Using a sample npz I can get a list or dict:

In [42]: with np.load('data.npz') as f:
    ...:     alist = [(key,f[key]) for key in f]
    ...: 
In [43]: alist
Out[43]: [('fone', array(['t1', 't2', 't3'], dtype='<U2')), ('nval', array([1, 2, 3]))]
In [44]: with np.load('data.npz') as f:
    ...:     adict = {key:f[key] for key in f}
    ...: 
In [45]: adict
Out[45]: {'fone': array(['t1', 't2', 't3'], dtype='<U2'), 'nval': array([1, 2, 3])}

The list could be unpacked with:

In [46]: fone, nval = alist
In [47]: fone
Out[47]: ('fone', array(['t1', 't2', 't3'], dtype='<U2'))

We can also use the dict approach to set variables in the global or local namespace, but that's not encouraged in Python.

  • I am getting an error here; fone, nval = alist ValueError: too many values to unpack (expected 2) – Prakhar Sharma Apr 14 '22 at 17:27
  • You need one variable name per key. There are just 2 in my example. – hpaulj Apr 14 '22 at 20:12
  • so what is the point? My question was something else. How to use the dictionary keys as the numpy array name? So, if I have 100 numpy array in npz file, I don't need to write all of them. – Prakhar Sharma Apr 15 '22 at 05:33
  • Do you really want 100 variables in your script? Even you automate tbe load, you stil have to write them to use any of them – hpaulj Apr 15 '22 at 06:51
