unable to load model

[DLeeeeeee]

when I ran:
python pred.py --img_dir test --model face_model.pkl

got error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "pred.py", line 103, in
main()
File "pred.py", line 81, in main
clf, labels = pickle.load(f)
TypeError: a bytes-like object is required, not 'str'

I tried pickle loading using other encoding option and also tried open file with "rb", but no good result.

Could you please tell me how to solve it? is it a version problem?

If you are using the python3 then use this code to read pickle file.

with open(model_path,'rb') as f: clf, labels = pickle.load(f,encoding='latin1')

Hi, this still doesn't work for me. Here is my error now:

in main(input_dir, output_dir, model_path)
49 # load the model
50 with open(model_path, 'rb') as f:
---> 51 clf, labels = pickle.load(f, encoding='latin1')
52
53 print("classifying images in {}".format(input_dir))
