Load fetch_lfw_people using Proxy












0















I want to use this toy dataset for education.
But when I try to load it using builtin sklearn loader I got the error.



from sklearn import datasets 
lfw_people = datasets.fetch_lfw_people(min_faces_per_person=50,
resize=0.4, data_home='.', )


Error:




urlopen error [WinError 10061]




I know it is about the proxy - usually to install new packages I use --proxy option.
But how to do it now? There is no such option in datasets.fetch_lfw_people





I thought about manual downloading it from the official website: http://vis-www.cs.umass.edu/lfw/#download
But I don't know which one to choose and how to open after that in python.

          fetch_lfw_people will by default check the data in '~/scikit_learn_data/lfw_home' to see if the dataset is already downloaded and correct or not (by matching hashes).



          According to source code, it downloads 4 files from the following urls:





          • For targets





            • pairsDevTrain.txt: https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/5976012


            • pairsDevTest.txt: https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/5976009


            • pairs.txt: https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/5976006




          • For data





            • lfw-funneled.tgz (Default): https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/5976015



              OR



            • lfw.tgz (when funneled=False): https://ndownloader.figshare.com/files/5976018





          So you can download these files and keep them in the specified folder. After that, just call fetch_lfw_people method and it will load the data from this location without connecting to internet.



          Here ~ refers to the home location of user. You can use the following code to know the default location of that folder according to your system.



          from sklearn.datasets import get_data_home
          print(get_data_home())


          Since you have changed that value to data_home='.', so you should use the ~/lfw_home without 'scikit_learn_data' (i.e. Make lfw_home directly in the home folder).
