Numerical python numpy is a package for scientific computing with python. From this experience i have a rule for numerically intensive computing with python. Once executed the gzip module keeps the input file s. Do not rely on the combination of tofile and fromfile for data storage, as the binary files generated are are not platform independent. We open the source file and then open an output file.
So numpy is being strict since much is written in lower level c code, it might require an actual file descriptor.
