DecodeError: Error parsing message for .binaryproto conversion to array

I'm currently trying to convert the .binaryproto file here to a usable numpy array. I'm running everything in my python terminal and following some of the guides as given here. I can make it as far as seen below: import caffe blob = caffe.proto.caffe_pb2.BlobProto() data = open('ucf101_train_mean.binaryproto','rb').read() blob.ParseFromString(data) At which point I get the error: Traceback (most recent call last)L File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> google.protobuf.message.DecodeError: Error parsing message I've cleared and reinstalled caffe thinking it was an installation problem and it hasn't helped. I printed the data string and checked the length and both seem appropriate. Or, as an alternative solution - is there another way I could potentially load the values of the .binaryproto file to get a usable mean? Thank you!
