FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: ''

[Logner]

I followed the installation upto installing venv. tried running the program with my images and the vgg16 file in cwd.

I installed tensorflow on my machine using pip3 install tensorflow --user

venv did not detect tensorflow, so I installed tensorflow with pip install tensorflow while in venv.

then I ran my command again.

(venv) user@user-X230:~/Documents/Programming/image$ make_image_analogy.py a.jpg a.jpg b.jpg output
Using TensorFlow backend.
Tensorflow detected. Forcing --a-scale-mode=match (A images are scaled to same size as B images)

I am getting this error involving patchmatch model, and I have no clue where to begin troubleshooting it.
