Is this and other tutorials marked as "Under construction" ready to be started?

I figured out that Pandas read_pickle works:

f = gzip.open('mnist_10000.pkl.gz', 'rb')

trainData, trainLabels, valData, valLabels, testData, testLabels = pd.read_pickle(f)

f.close()

I am on Python 3.6.5 where I am not able to install cPickle (at least a quick web search seemed to suggest that cPickle is not available for Python3.x).

Please suggest an option to move forward on this assignment.

Thanks. I worked around in same way and moved ahead. I hope this can get fixed though at the source.

data = pd.read_csv('UKretail.csv') I get the following Error:
