@repodevs Hm, that's odd. I tried running the script on the same picture and had no errors.

Here was my output -

I see that you're running it on Python 2.7, right?

I executed my script on Python 3.6.1.

I verified this by running python --version on the terminal. Perhaps, you should try executing the script on the same version.

I had this same issue and I was using Python 2.7. When I ran with python 3 it worked.

Hi why my img is so ugly and don't like yours?

@davechen1 I'm unsure what you mean - your output matches my output from the GIF in the readme.

If you're referencing the text version of the image I've added below the GIF, I had to remove a few lines to fit the ascii-fied image into the screen so it may not look the same.

Your output is exactly the same as mine is supposed to be. :slightly_smiling_face:
