Error while loading data using joblib and import errors of the dependent fiels for models

[Rupesh-Darimisetti]

The repository not unable to load the basic import files used in model from the tools path and even appending with

sys.path.append(".")

it resolves importing error of

fromtools.email_preprocess import preprocess

after which it throwing error with joblib loading files as

python naive_bayes/nb_author_id.py

@jaycode @13rac1 @nmb10 @richardkalehoff please try to fix the codebase in order to run the models of machine learning.

Hi @Rupesh-Darimisetti, the code was set up to use Python 3.6.3. It looks like you are using 3.11, which rendered the unpickle feature to fail. I suggest creating a new virtual environment to run it.

Even though i use python 3.6.8 version and reinstall the venv it's throwing the following error @jaycode

 python naive_bayes/nb_author_id.py

I was also facing the same issue. But after a few stack overflow threads, I found the issue to be the Line separator format for both word_data.pkl and email_author.pkl was the one that brought about the errors. Changing it to LF from CRLF or CR might do the trick.
