how to load cifar10 in python

"""Load from /home/USER/data/cifar10 or elsewhere; download if missing."""

import tarfile
import os
from urllib.request import urlretrieve
import numpy as np


def cifar10(path=None):
    r"""Return (train_images, train_labels, test_images, test_labels).

    Args:
        path (str): Directory containing CIFAR-10. Default is
            /home/USER/data/cifar10 or C:\Users\USER\data\cifar10.
            Create if nonexistant. Download CIFAR-10 if missing.

    Returns:
        Tuple of (train_images, train_labels, test_images, test_labels), each
            a matrix. Rows are examples. Columns of images are pixel values,
            with the order (red -> blue -> green). Columns of labels are a
            onehot encoding of the correct class.
