I am doing the Udacity TensorFlow course, the first exercise: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/blob/master/tensorflow/examples/udacity/1_notmnist.ipynb
OSX 10.11 (El Capitan) Python 2.7 virtualenv installing TF
I get an error message:
"Exception: Failed to verifynotMNIST_large.tar.gz. Can you access it using a browser?"
It finds a "small" file, but not a "large" one. Appreciate the help. Thanks.
Here is the whole block of code:
>>> url = 'http://yaroslavvb.com/upload/notMNIST/'
>>>
>>> def maybe_download(filename, expected_bytes):
... """Download a file if not present, and make sure it the right size."""
... if not os.path.exists(filename):
... filename, _ = urlretrieve(url + filename, filename)
... statinfo = os.stat(filename)
... if statinfo.st_size == expected_bytes:
... print('Found and verified', filename)
... else:
... raise Exception(
... 'Failed to verify' + filename + '. Can you get to it with a browser?')
... return filename
...
Here is what returns:
>>> train_filename = maybe_download('notMNIST_large.tar.gz', 247336696)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "<stdin>", line 10, in maybe_download

>>> test_filename = maybe_download('notMNIST_small.tar.gz', 8458043)
Found and verified notMNIST_small.tar.gz
