Hello,
While executing the Lesson 5- SGB-MNIST example I am getting an error on the sentence below.
with gzip.open(path/‘mnist.pkl.gz’, ‘rb’) as f:
((x_train, y_train), (x_valid, y_valid), _) = pickle.load(f, encoding=‘latin-1’)
Error thrown is : OSError: Not a gzipped file (b’\x80\x02’).
The file does exist in the folder but it seems that the gzip.open expects a magic header of b’\037\213’.
Please advise.

If you are using Mac OS X, the system automatically unzips the gz file and give you mnist.pkl after download. Did you somehow change the name back into mnist.pkl.gz?
Below is what I did in OS X and it worked fine for me:
with open(path/'mnist.pkl', 'rb') as f:
((x_train, y_train), (x_valid, y_valid), _) = pickle.load(f, encoding='latin-1')
Thank you George. Your feedback worked.
Thanks again.
