import_pickle
(filepath, **kwargs)[source]¶ Import a pickle file of arbitrary Python objects.
Menpo unambiguously uses
.pkl
as it’s choice of extension for Pickle files. Menpo also supports automatic importing and exporting of gzip compressed pickle files - just choose afilepath
endingpkl.gz
and gzip compression will automatically be applied. Compression can massively reduce the filesize of a pickle file at the cost of longer import and export times.- Parameters
filepath (pathlib.Path or str) – A relative or absolute filepath to a
.pkl
or.pkl.gz
file.- Returns
object (object) – Whatever Python objects are present in the Pickle file
