ValueError: Variable pnet/conv1/weights already exists

[ylmzkaan]

When I run the code, I get the following error. I would appreciate if someone helped me.
I have:
python 3.6
mtcnn 0.0.7
tensorflow 1.9.0 running on CPU
All installed with pip

This issue was already solved, but not pushed as a new version into PyPi. The package have just been updated,

$ pip3 install --upgrade mtcnn
