Sorry. I'm just now learning Python and everything there is to do with data analysis.
How on earth do I open a .npy file with Spyder? Or do I have to use another program? I'm using a Mac, if that is at all relevant.

You need a suitable software like Python from Python to open an NPY file. Without proper software you will receive a Windows message "How do you want to open this file?" or "Windows cannot open this file" or a similar Mac/iPhone/Android alert.
NPY files store all the information required to reconstruct an array on any computer, which includes dtype and shape information. NumPy is a Python programming language library that provides support for large arrays and matrices. You can export an array to an NPY file by using np. save('filename.
The . npy format is the standard binary file format in NumPy for persisting a single arbitrary NumPy array on disk. The format stores all of the shape and dtype information necessary to reconstruct the array correctly even on another machine with a different architecture.
*.npy files are binary files to store numpy arrays. They are created with
import numpy as np data = np.random.normal(0, 1, 100) np.save('data.npy', data) And read in like
import numpy as np data = np.load('data.npy') Given that you asked for Spyder, you need to do two things to import those files:
Variable Explorer Press the import button (shown below), select your .npy file and present Ok.
Then you can work with that file in your current Python or IPython console.
