Issues with pickle file!!

[Cyborg-07]

The following error is being thrown while running nb_author_id, svm_author_id etc. The problem seems to be in pickle file. I am not able to find any solution as of now. Any help is appreciated.

Have you been able to resolve the issue?

Looks like the code base was updated to use python3, but the course still tells you to use python2.7
Run with python 3, it solved this issue for me. You may need to go back and install requirements on python3, the readme on this git page tells you how.
