BadZipFile: File is not a zip by importing keras

问题:

When I run this code, I got the following error. I have tried different techniques to get rid of this problem but couldn't.

May I request to someone who can help me to solve this issue. There are some solutions to the same problem but I couldn't get theirs points to fix it.

import numpy

from keras.datasets import imdb
(X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = imdb.load_data()

X = numpy.concatenate((X_train, X_test), axis=0)

y = numpy.concatenate((y_train, y_test), axis=0)

Using Theano backend.

BadZipFile: File is not a zip file

This could have happened when a previous download has stopped for some reason resulting in a bad zip file in keras cache. Try cleaning the keras dataset cache: rm ~/.keras/datasets/*

I have the same problem. I was downloading half way and then I had to go to work, so i stopped the download. after work, I rerun the program, and it gives me the same message. I have a Mac OS how I do clean the case from the dataset? thanks.

i figured it out. I actually had to do rm -R .keras/datasets on bash.
