unknown URI scheme while opening bin file

Using Python 3.5, I try to open .bin file with Word2Vec representations downloaded from source http://ling.go.mail.ru/static/models/ruscorpora_russe.model.bin.gz

Doing it with the following code 

import gensim.models 
Word2Vec = gensim.models.KeyedVectors.load_word2vec_format('D://ruscorpora.model.bin', binary=True)

I get an error.

NotImplementedError: unknown URI scheme 'd' in 'D://ruscorpora.model.bin'

How can I tackle this problem?

Seems like the path argument expects an URI. URI Schemes are these things; file:// or smtp://. But a drive letter is not an URI Scheme.

So there are two options:

  1. You heard that you have to write \\ instead of \ in Python for pathes which is right. But you do not have to write // instead of / since / does not have to be escaped; write: D:/file.bin or D:\\file.bin

  2. The argument should be an URI: write something like: file://D/file.bin like you would do in a browser.
