max_size of vocab was specified as 50000; we now have 50000 words. Stopping reading.

I tried manually passing inside the run() with argv. I have tried passing it as command and string ie --mode=train and --mode="train"

Using Python 3.6 Tensorlfow 1.8

Have you tried to print the type of the value you pass ?

[seungwonpark]

Try tensorflow version under 1.4.0. The hps API has changed around version 1.4~1.5, and this repository's code doesn't work after that.

[Rachnas]

You need to see mode.value if you are running TF version > 1.4.

@Adityagrao Here you go. This code is executable with Tensorflow>=1.5.0. https://github.com/seungwonpark/pointer-generator

@abisee Would you mind listing this repository to "About this code" section of README.md, like:

Python 3, Tensorflow>=1.5.0 version: see @seungwonpark's fork

Thanks in advance.
