This is excellent. While using it I was getting errors running export_figures.py. The errors ultimately come from lines 50, 62, 70 and 76. They can be corrected by writing
with open(FILE_NAME, "wb" or "w") as fp:
instead of the current
with FILE_NAME.open( "wb" or "w") as fp:
Once corrected, the example works excellently. I was wondering if there is an effective way to get this corrected other than forking the repo, correcting it and making a pull request?
