Fix np.load allow_pickle=False to work correctly with .npz format by Copilot · Pull Request #1329 · PyThaiNLP/pythainlp

Copilot · 2026-03-13T22:02:18Z

np.load(..., allow_pickle=False) was set in w2p.py but loading still used .item().get(key) — only valid for pickle-based .npy object arrays. This made the security fix non-functional and would raise an AttributeError at runtime.

What do these changes do

w2p.py: Replace all self.variables.item().get(key) with variables[key] (NpzFile dict-style access); convert self.variables to a typed local variable; remove the now-unused class attribute declaration
words_spelling_correction.py: Add allow_pickle=False to the embeddings.npy load (plain float array, no pickle needed)

What was wrong

The Thai W2P checkpoint is a .npz file (saved via np.savez). np.load on .npz returns numpy.lib.npyio.NpzFile, which:

Does not have .item() — so the old access pattern would raise AttributeError
Supports allow_pickle=False natively via variables["key"] subscript access

The previous commit set allow_pickle=False but kept the pickle-era .item().get() access pattern, making the fix both broken and incomplete.

How this fixes it

Switch to dict-style subscript access (variables["key"]) which is the correct API for NpzFile objects and works without pickle:

# Before (broken with allow_pickle=False on .npz files)
self.variables = np.load(self.checkpoint, allow_pickle=False)
self.enc_emb = self.variables.item().get("encoder.emb.weight")  # AttributeError

# After (correct)
variables: "np.lib.npyio.NpzFile" = np.load(self.checkpoint, allow_pickle=False)
self.enc_emb = variables["encoder.emb.weight"]

Firewall rules blocked me from connecting to one or more addresses (expand for details)

I tried to connect to the following addresses, but was blocked by firewall rules:
