TypeError: only integer scalar arrays can be converted to a scalar index

[ProgramItUp]

I'm having trouble running your code and am getting the following error. Any thoughts of what might be wrong? Thanks.

$python main.py
....
Extracting MNIST_data/train-images-idx3-ubyte.gz

A simple solution is to change the _read32 function in input_data.py to return the following value:

return numpy.asscalar(numpy.frombuffer(bytestream.read(4), dtype=dt))

It seems that bytestream.read does not know what to do with numpy.array even if it has a single value, so you need to transform it to scalar.
