cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '?'.

[nyxjemk]

Unfortunately I'm not able to open the finished_files:

>>> import cPickle
>>> import cPickle as pickle
>>> pickle.load(open('train.bin', 'rb'))
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
cPickle.UnpicklingError: invalid load key, '?'.

I tried different systems and python versions - no success.

Any idea what I can do?

@nyxjemk Please let me know whether this issue is still there or not? How you resolved if the issue is resolved?

I was following this repository:
https://github.com/hashbangCoder/Text-Summarization

But then when trying to open it, I got this error posted above. Later then I realized that different approaches are used. While Text-Summarization uses just cPickle for saving in its preprocessing the script provided in:
https://github.com/abisee/cnn-dailymail (I guess this is what you used)
Uses strucs which are written then directly to the file without pickling.

So this is not really related to the files provided by you, just a bit misleading that on Text-Summarization to suggest using the finished files.

Sorry I didn't realize this earlier.
