Download the scripts again. You have an older version. The new one has scipy imports commented out.

[f1am3d]

@titu1994 I downloaded latest versions with conda.

tensorflow-gpu 1.13.1
scipy 1.3.0
keras-gpu 2.2.4
pillow 6.1.0
numpy 1.16.4
h5py 2.9.0

This issue was patched recently. Update the codebase, not the libraries.

@titu1994 Please don't close issues before you get a successful response from the topic starter. That's not a professional way to resolve problems. If you close an issue it doesn't mean that it's resolved.

Everything is installed git-pulled and there's a problem in your code again.

Running as this:

@titu1994 Also: Always specify the exact version of all dependencies that the application is stable with. Every good developer knows that updating the version of any dependencies can cause the application to break down.
You haven't even written a version of Python that your application works with. Just nonsense.

[titu1994]

@FlamesoFF Many points to raise here.

1. An issue is specific to its heading. Your issue was : "ImportError: cannot import name 'imread' from 'scipy.misc' ImportError: cannot import name 'imread' from 'scipy.misc'  #59". That was fixed by :

This issue was patched recently. Update the codebase, not the libraries.

I closed the issue immediately, because I already knew you did not have the latest code and therefore once you did, it would work properly. Therefore this issue was closed.

2. Your next error that popped up is entirely different in scope, and not even pertaining to the original issue. The correct way to handle this is to create another issue, not continue with the closed one.

3. This is a passion project. Do you see any label here saying "This project is supported by a team of full time employees of X company", cause I sure don't? Honestly, why do you expect a production level quality script and setup environment from a passion project?

4. Also, unless you didn't notice, or didn't care to check, I have been maintaining this project over the past 3 years, for free, without many contributions from external sources (though the few I received over the years are greatly appreciated). If you have such issues with the code, either try to fix it rather than just complain about it and lecture other people about writing a requirements.txt or explicitly stating a python version, or simply don't use it. Python 2 is dead. Python 3.4+ will run this just fine. Thousands of people over the years had no issue with this.

5. There are exactly 4 ways of running the scripts :

• Run script from cmd
• Use Windows Helper
• Use jupyter notebook
• Run said notebook in Colab with a GPU and full config already setup.

There's a full guide to the scripts in the readme, a full set of applications to run them with a GUI, and online GPU access via colab. How much more should I possibly do to make it less of a problem for people to run this code?

---

Seriously, I could not care less about resolving the bugs of this project due to library changes spanning 3+ years. If you peer into my github sometime, you'll note I have at least 90+ projects that I have to manage, all on my own time. The fact that I still keep this one updated, is solely due to the fact that it is enjoyable once in a while. Nothing else.

If you feel that this is "Such nonsense", by all means, use some other library for your needs.

Lastly, end rant, and the utils script has been patched to correct the issue you had.

[f1am3d]

@titu1994 I understand that you're full-time developer on your main job and this is your passionate project. But even full-time job is not a excuse for not providing dependencies version in requirements.txt.
Only today I saw that you have added requirements.txt - thank you for that.

Your next error that popped up is entirely different in scope, and not even pertaining to the original issue. The correct way to handle this is to create another issue, not continue with the closed one.

Okay, I will open another if it will still has place after update.

This is a passion project. Do you see any label here saying "This project is supported by a team of full time employees of X company", cause I sure don't? Honestly, why do you expect a production level quality script and setup environment from a passion project?

I'm not expect production level quality, I only expect basic project description.

If you have such issues with the code, either try to fix it rather than just complain about it and lecture other people about writing a requirements.txt or explicitly stating a python version, or simply don't use it.

It's not a complaining. It's a question. Otherwise how I'm suppose to know what exact versions should be used for stable app work?

If you feel that this is "Such nonsense", by all means, use some other library for your needs.

Sorry for that. No offense here, man. You're project is good, but I only wanted to give couple of tips about how to document projects for people.

[f1am3d]

@titu1994 Well, after installing requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt inside the same conda environment, that I used before, everything started to work.
