I am trying to load a .dat file (RML2016_10b.dat) radio dataset from DeepSig using _pickle in Python 3.6 as follows:

from _pickle import load, dump
Xd = load(open("RML2016_10b.dat", 'rb'))

But I keep getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/anoir/PycharmProjects/AMC/classification.py", line 14, in <module>
    Xd = load(open("RML2016_10b.dat", 'rb'))
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xde in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Can anyone give me a solution?

    Might be the case that the file was created with python2. Try this answer: stackoverflow.com/questions/28218466/… Commented Mar 17, 2019 at 17:38
  • yes but i cannot use python 2 because i have to use tensorflow which does not work with python 2 Commented Mar 17, 2019 at 17:41

You don't need to explicitly import _pickle in Python 3. See What difference between pickle and _pickle in python 3?
