recover dict from 0-d numpy array

Question

What happened is that I (by mistake) saved a dictionary with the command numpy.save() (no error messages shown) and now I need to recover the data in the dictio

Answer 1

Use mydict.item() to obtain the array element as a Python scalar.

>>> import numpy as np
>>> np.save('/tmp/data.npy',{'a':'Hi Mom!'})
>>> x=np.load('/tmp/data.npy')
>>> x.item()
{'a': 'Hi Mom!'}
