Error loading pickle file

[bml1g12]

Running python 2.7 on ubuntu, running the first notebook RunParts.ipynb I get an error:

Running
parts_predictor.run_inference(bg_pretrained = True,regression_pretrained = True,verbose = True)

/DeepOcclusion/VGG/VGGNet.py

paramsValuesVGG = pickle.load(open(os.path.dirname(__file__)+"/models/paramsVGG.pickle","rb"))

Throws the error:
ValueError: insecure string pickle

Loading the pickle load on that file using instead my Python 3.6 environment gives:

>>> pickle.load(open("/home/ben/software/DeepOcclusion/VGG/models/paramsVGG.pickle","rb"))                                                                                                                                                                    
Traceback (most recent call last):                                                                                                                                                                                                                                             
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)       

And if I change encoding to latin1/bytes gives:

pickle.load(open("/home/ben/software/DeepOcclusion/VGG/models/paramsVGG.pickle","rb"))
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe2 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128)

Which has already been reported and closed in #9 but I am unsure what the solution was.

Well, in python 3.6, I just modify my code as: pickle.load(open("/home/ben/software/DeepOcclusion/VGG/models/paramsVGG.pickle","rb"),encoding = 'bytes') and it works.
