When I run
python ../argfile_runner.py runners/lottery_experiment.py argfiles/lottery_experiment_argfile.py
command,
The following ERROR reported:

I have the same problem.Do you solve it?

[momo1986]

Met same problems to reproduce the code.

[joaolcaas]

I got the same here

[joaolcaas]

#4 alredy solve this problem.

Hi, I got that problem too.
I solved this problem by revising code.
In the file named 'save_restore.py',
in 87Line, "with tf.io.gfile.GFile(os.path.join(filename, basename)) as fp:"
I fixed to "with tf.io.gfile.GFile(os.path.join(filename, basename), 'rb') as fp:"

And it worked! Thank you!!
