Solution: add these code in batcher.py

======== before ==============

  def fill_example_queue(self):
    input_gen = self.text_generator(data.example_generator(self._data_path, self._single_pass))

    while True:
      try:
        (article, abstract) = next(input_gen)

========after================

  def fill_example_queue(self):
    input_gen = self.text_generator(data.example_generator(self._data_path, self._single_pass))

    while True:
      try:
        (article, abstract) = next(input_gen) 
        article = article.decode("utf-8")
        abstract = abstract.decode("utf-8")
