python3 compability: load() got an unexpected keyword argument 'encoding' about tensorflow-vgg

[machrisaa]

Copied from documentation of Numpy:

encoding : str, optional
What encoding to use when reading Python 2 strings. Only useful when loading Python 2 generated pickled files on Python 3, which includes npy/npz files containing object arrays. Values other than ‘latin1’, ‘ASCII’, and ‘bytes’ are not allowed, as they can corrupt numerical data. Default: ‘ASCII’

So I will suggest you remove the encoding parameter for Python 3.

Thank you. I tried, but it comes out the following error:

This issue should be fixed in the recent update on the python3 compatibility.
