Encoding problem occurs

[minty99]

in text_utils.py Line 457, there is load call for font_model. However, I got this error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc9 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

I tried to change the encoding to 'utf-8' by this code from original repo by ankush-me.

with open(font_model_path,'rb') as f: # self.font_model = cp.load(f) u = cp._Unpickler(f) u.encoding = 'utf-8' p = u.load() self.font_model = p

But still not working with this error: UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc9 in position 0: invalid continuation byte

What is the proper encoding?

@minty99 I believe it's 'latin-1'

@xxxpsyduck I tried to use 'latin-1', but then similar error occurs at line 50 of colorize3_poisson.py. If I change encoding to latin-1 similarly in text_utils.py, then I got this error:

I also tried 'utf-8' but UnicodeDecodeError occured.

I fixed this error (It was my typo...) However, the program prints this log

I'm still investigating about this.

I found some fixes are needed to run this code with Python 3.5 and latest versions of required packages. I will make a pull request after checking the result.

Can you tell me which part of this code I need to fix? I'm having a hard time with this code^^
