NumPy Application Notes: Basic Usage

I learn of NumPy while seeking one way to read a text file effectively. Therefore, I decide to put some notes here for convenient access.

1. Input and Output

1.1 Load data from a text file

np.loadtxt is used to load data from a simply formatted text file and return an array called ndarry.

import numpy as np

np.loadtxt(fname,                   # file or str, File, filename, or generator to read. 
            dtype=<type 'float'>,   # data-type, data-type of the resulting array; default: float.  
            comments='#',           # str or sequence, the characters or list of characters used to indicate the start of a comment.
            delimiter=None,         # str, by default, this is any whitespace.
            converters=None,        # dict, mapping column number to a function. E.g., if column 0 is a date string: converters = {0: datestr2num}.  
            skiprows=0,             # int, skip the first skiprows lines 
            usecols=None,           # sequence, identify which columns to read. E.g, `usecols = (1,4,5)` will extract the 2nd, 5th and 6th columns.
            unpack=False,           # If True, the returned array is transposed, so that arguments may be unpacked using x, y, z = loadtxt(...).
            ndmin=0)                # int, the returned array will have at least ndmin dimensions. The reLegal values: 0 (default), 1 or 2.

1.2 Save an array to a text file

np.savetxt is used to save an array to a text file.

np.savetxt(fname,           # filename or file handle, '.gz' is automatically saved in compressed gzip format. 
            X,              # array_like, data to be saved to a text file. 
            fmt='%.18e',    # str or sequence of strs, e.g. [‘%.3e + %.3ej’, ‘(%.15e%+.15ej)’] for 2 columns (a list of specifiers, one per column) 
            delimiter=' ',  # str 
            newline='\n',   # str, string or character separating lines. 
            header='',      # str 
            footer='',      # str 
            comments='# ')  # str, string that will be prepended to the header and footer strings, to mark them as comments.

    Hello. I see that you don’t update your page too often. I know that writing content is boring and time consuming.

    But did you know that there is a tool that allows you to
    create new articles using existing content (from article directories or other
    websites from your niche)? And it does it very well.

    The new posts are unique and pass the copyscape test. You should try miftolo’s tools
