EOF read where object expected

[vidithirve]

I tried running predict_line.py on command prompt

python predict_line.py --path C:/Handwritten_OCR/HTRPipeline-master/HTRPipeline-master/data1/eng_AF_004.jpg

but I am getting this error

EOF read where object expected
Unable to Load Checkpoint.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Handwritten_OCR\Easter2-main\Easter2-main\src\predict_line.py", line 72, in <module>
    print(infer_obj.predict(args.path)) ## change the image path with the file path you want
          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'predict'

I would appreciate if anyone can help.
