Trait std::io::Read is not implemented for &NpzArchive<BufReader<File>>

1

I'm using npyz crate to load a *.npz file and access the data. Here is my code:

use npyz::npz::NpzArchive;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    // Open an npz file
    let mut bytes = NpzArchive::open("file.npz")?;

    let data = NpzArchive::new(&bytes)?;
    Ok(())
}

I'm running into this error:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `&NpzArchive<BufReader<File>>: std::io::Read` is not satisfied

My Cargo.toml files dependencies looks like this:

[dependencies]
npyz = {version = "0.7.2", features = ["npz"] }

Calling NpzArchive::open followed by NpzArchive::new looks wrong. You should be able to use the return value of NpzArchive::open directly.

Thanks @alice for replying. What if I want to see the data inside the *.npz file. The NpzArchive doesn't have a debug trait. How could I see the data inside the file?

You would then read the contents of the archive into an array.

To inspect an NpzArchive, you're supposed to call bytes.array_names() to see a list of arrays in the archive, and to use by_name to get at an individual array.

You can then use methods on NpyFile to examine the contents of an array, and to deserialize the data into a Rust data type (e.g. by calling into_vec to get a Vec<_> from the array).
