-    NpzFile(fid)
-
-    A dictionary-like object with lazy-loading of files in the zipped
-    archive provided on construction.
-
-    `NpzFile` is used to load files in the NumPy ``.npz`` data archive
-    format. It assumes that files in the archive have a ``.npy`` extension,
-    other files are ignored.
-
-    The arrays and file strings are lazily loaded on either
-    getitem access using ``obj['key']`` or attribute lookup using
-    ``obj.f.key``. A list of all files (without ``.npy`` extensions) can
-    be obtained with ``obj.files`` and the ZipFile object itself using
-    ``obj.zip``.
-
-    Attributes
-    ----------
-    files : list of str
-        List of all files in the archive with a ``.npy`` extension.
-    zip : ZipFile instance
-        The ZipFile object initialized with the zipped archive.
-    f : BagObj instance
-        An object on which attribute can be performed as an alternative
-        to getitem access on the `NpzFile` instance itself.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    fid : file or str
-        The zipped archive to open. This is either a file-like object
-        or a string containing the path to the archive.
-    own_fid : bool, optional
-        Whether NpzFile should close the file handle.

-def load(file, mmap_mode=None):
-    """
-    Load arrays or pickled objects from ``.npy``, ``.npz`` or pickled files.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    file : file-like object or string
-        The file to read. File-like objects must support the
-        ``seek()`` and ``read()`` methods. Pickled files require that the
-        file-like object support the ``readline()`` method as well.
-    mmap_mode : {None, 'r+', 'r', 'w+', 'c'}, optional
-        If not None, then memory-map the file, using the given mode (see
-        `numpy.memmap` for a detailed description of the modes).  A
-        memory-mapped array is kept on disk. However, it can be accessed
-        and sliced like any ndarray.  Memory mapping is especially useful
-        for accessing small fragments of large files without reading the
-        entire file into memory.
-
-    Returns
-    -------
-    result : array, tuple, dict, etc.
-        Data stored in the file. For ``.npz`` files, the returned instance
-        of NpzFile class must be closed to avoid leaking file descriptors.
-
-    Raises
-    ------
-    IOError
-        If the input file does not exist or cannot be read.
-
-    See Also
-    --------
-    save, savez, savez_compressed, loadtxt
-    memmap : Create a memory-map to an array stored in a file on disk.
-
-    Notes
-    -----
-    - If the file contains pickle data, then whatever object is stored
-      in the pickle is returned.
-    - If the file is a ``.npy`` file, then a single array is returned.
-    - If the file is a ``.npz`` file, then a dictionary-like object is
-      returned, containing ``{filename: array}`` key-value pairs, one for
-      each file in the archive.
-    - If the file is a ``.npz`` file, the returned value supports the
-      context manager protocol in a similar fashion to the open function::
-
-        with load('foo.npz') as data:
-            a = data['a']
-
-      The underlying file descriptor is closed when exiting the 'with'
-      block.
-
-    Examples
-    --------
-    Store data to disk, and load it again:
-
-    >>> np.save('/tmp/123', np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]))
-    >>> np.load('/tmp/123.npy')
-    array([[1, 2, 3],
-           [4, 5, 6]])
-
-    Store compressed data to disk, and load it again:
-
-    >>> a=np.array([[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]])

-           [4, 5, 6]])
-    >>> data['b']
-    array([1, 2])
-    >>> data.close()
-
-    Mem-map the stored array, and then access the second row
-    directly from disk:

-    Load data from a text file.
-
-    Each row in the text file must have the same number of values.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    fname : file or str
-        File, filename, or generator to read.  If the filename extension is
-        ``.gz`` or ``.bz2``, the file is first decompressed. Note that
-        generators should return byte strings for Python 3k.
-    dtype : data-type, optional
-        Data-type of the resulting array; default: float.  If this is a
-        record data-type, the resulting array will be 1-dimensional, and
-        each row will be interpreted as an element of the array.  In this
-        case, the number of columns used must match the number of fields in
-        the data-type.
-    comments : str, optional
-        The character used to indicate the start of a comment;
-        default: '#'.
-    delimiter : str, optional
-        The string used to separate values.  By default, this is any
-        whitespace.
-    converters : dict, optional
-        A dictionary mapping column number to a function that will convert
-        that column to a float.  E.g., if column 0 is a date string:
-        ``converters = {0: datestr2num}``.  Converters can also be used to
-        provide a default value for missing data (but see also `genfromtxt`):
-        ``converters = {3: lambda s: float(s.strip() or 0)}``.  Default: None.
-    skiprows : int, optional
-        Skip the first `skiprows` lines; default: 0.
-    usecols : sequence, optional
-        Which columns to read, with 0 being the first.  For example,
-        ``usecols = (1,4,5)`` will extract the 2nd, 5th and 6th columns.
-        The default, None, results in all columns being read.
-    unpack : bool, optional
-        If True, the returned array is transposed, so that arguments may be
-        unpacked using ``x, y, z = loadtxt(...)``.  When used with a record
-        data-type, arrays are returned for each field.  Default is False.
-    ndmin : int, optional
-        The returned array will have at least `ndmin` dimensions.
-        Otherwise mono-dimensional axes will be squeezed.
-        Legal values: 0 (default), 1 or 2.

-
-    Notes
-    -----
-    This function aims to be a fast reader for simply formatted files.  The
-    `genfromtxt` function provides more sophisticated handling of, e.g.,
-    lines with missing values.

-    Load data from a text file, with missing values handled as specified.
-
-    Each line past the first `skip_header` lines is split at the `delimiter`
-    character, and characters following the `comments` character are discarded.
-
-    Parameters
-    ----------
-    fname : file or str
-        File, filename, or generator to read.  If the filename extension is
-        `.gz` or `.bz2`, the file is first decompressed. Note that
-        generators must return byte strings in Python 3k.
-    dtype : dtype, optional
-        Data type of the resulting array.
-        If None, the dtypes will be determined by the contents of each
-        column, individually.
-    comments : str, optional
-        The character used to indicate the start of a comment.
-        All the characters occurring on a line after a comment are discarded
-    delimiter : str, int, or sequence, optional
-        The string used to separate values.  By default, any consecutive
-        whitespaces act as delimiter.  An integer or sequence of integers
-        can also be provided as width(s) of each field.
-    skip_rows : int, optional
-        `skip_rows` was deprecated in numpy 1.5, and will be removed in
-        numpy 2.0. Please use `skip_header` instead.
-    skip_header : int, optional
-        The number of lines to skip at the beginning of the file.
-    skip_footer : int, optional
-        The number of lines to skip at the end of the file.
-    converters : variable, optional
-        The set of functions that convert the data of a column to a value.
-        The converters can also be used to provide a default value
-        for missing data: ``converters = {3: lambda s: float(s or 0)}``.
-    missing : variable, optional
-        `missing` was deprecated in numpy 1.5, and will be removed in
-        numpy 2.0. Please use `missing_values` instead.
-    missing_values : variable, optional
-        The set of strings corresponding to missing data.
-    filling_values : variable, optional
-        The set of values to be used as default when the data are missing.
-    usecols : sequence, optional
-        Which columns to read, with 0 being the first.  For example,
-        ``usecols = (1, 4, 5)`` will extract the 2nd, 5th and 6th columns.
-    names : {None, True, str, sequence}, optional
-        If `names` is True, the field names are read from the first valid line
-        after the first `skip_header` lines.
-        If `names` is a sequence or a single-string of comma-separated names,
-        the names will be used to define the field names in a structured dtype.
-        If `names` is None, the names of the dtype fields will be used, if any.
-    excludelist : sequence, optional
-        A list of names to exclude. This list is appended to the default list
-        ['return','file','print']. Excluded names are appended an underscore:
-        for example, `file` would become `file_`.
-    deletechars : str, optional
-        A string combining invalid characters that must be deleted from the
-        names.
-    defaultfmt : str, optional
-        A format used to define default field names, such as "f%i" or "f_%02i".
-    autostrip : bool, optional
-        Whether to automatically strip white spaces from the variables.
-    replace_space : char, optional
-        Character(s) used in replacement of white spaces in the variables
-        names. By default, use a '_'.
-    case_sensitive : {True, False, 'upper', 'lower'}, optional
-        If True, field names are case sensitive.
-        If False or 'upper', field names are converted to upper case.
-        If 'lower', field names are converted to lower case.
-    unpack : bool, optional
-        If True, the returned array is transposed, so that arguments may be
-        unpacked using ``x, y, z = loadtxt(...)``
-    usemask : bool, optional
-        If True, return a masked array.
-        If False, return a regular array.
-    loose : bool, optional
-        If True, do not raise errors for invalid values.
-    invalid_raise : bool, optional
-        If True, an exception is raised if an inconsistency is detected in the
-        number of columns.
-        If False, a warning is emitted and the offending lines are skipped.
-
-    Returns
-    -------
-    out : ndarray
-        Data read from the text file. If `usemask` is True, this is a
-        masked array.
-
-    See Also
-    --------
-    numpy.loadtxt : equivalent function when no data is missing.
-
-    Notes
-    -----
-    * When spaces are used as delimiters, or when no delimiter has been given
-      as input, there should not be any missing data between two fields.
-    * When the variables are named (either by a flexible dtype or with `names`,
-      there must not be any header in the file (else a ValueError
-      exception is raised).
-    * Individual values are not stripped of spaces by default.
-      When using a custom converter, make sure the function does remove spaces.
