I'm following the tutorial on tensorflows webpage using cyclegan. It works fine running the code through colab but when I am downloading the jupiter code and converting it using jupyter nbconvert:

jupyter nbconvert — to script cyclegan.ipynb --to python

I am running the code with python cyclegan.py but are getting an error:

File "C:\Users\myname\Desktop\PROJECT\GanTutorial\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\lib\io\file_io.py", line 549, in rename_v2 compat.path_to_bytes(src), compat.path_to_bytes(dst), overwrite) UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xc5 in position 167: invalid continuation byte

I can't get rid of this error. Does anyone successfully run the example outside google colab?

UPDATE After trying to use the trained data on some of my own files I got this errormessage:

' ' tensorflow.python.framework.errors_impl.InvalidArgumentError: Expected 'tf.Tensor(False, shape=(), dtype=bool)' to be true. Summarized data: b'No files matched pattern:
