I am get error in mac ox Catalina

I love the concept behind the project and would like to contribute to the project. I am planning to make jupyter notebook to demonstrate the project. Are you currently accepting any PR?

using these libraries below and their versions in python 3.8
imutils==0.5.4
joblib==1.1.0
numpy==1.22.1
opencv-python==4.5.5.62
scikit-learn==0.20.4
scipy==1.7.3
threadpoolctl==3.1.0
i got the error below

How do i rectify this problem?

I am getting this error AttributeError: '_io.BufferedWriter' object has no attribute 'predict_proba' in recognize_image.py
Need Help

Can you please add some data to run this project on windows OS.

Thank you for this amazing repository.
I have found out that directly cloning and running the code results in unexpected behaviors (sometimes crashes). This is a result of the .pickle extension being omitted on line that dumps the recognizer into the output folder.
Please update line 26 of the train_model.py file to the following

f = open("output/recognizer.pickle", "wb")
