utf-8 codec error

[greycubesgav]

This seems to be an issue with pickle binaries between Python 2 and Python 3.

See a potential fix here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41366785, adding 'encoding='latin1' to the pickle.load line referenced above.

From:
values = pickle.load(open(weights_filename))['param values']
To:
values = pickle.load(open(weights_filename,'rb'),encoding='latin1')['param values']

After fixing the issues in #1 AND #2 this is working. Thank you for the assistance! Running it on Ubuntu 20.4 (AMD 3700x, 32GB RAM, NVIDA 1080 FTW2 GPU)

(though it seems to only be using CPU--I'll open that issue after I test to make sure, possible I'm missing the environment variable for cuda for theano or something like that). I'm new to this and don't know Python yet, so it's been an uphill battle--but very rewarding. And once I get the GPU rendering instead of the CPU I'll be really geeked up!
