Issue when running create_from_images.py

[LauKeer]

Hi all, I attempted to train a custom dataset and run create_from_images.py.

And I met with the error when running create_from_images.py, here is the code:

def main():
    parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
    parser.add_argument('--C:/Users/xxxx/PycharmProjects/co-mod-gan/generated_TFRecord', help='Output directory of generated TFRecord', required=True)
    parser.add_argument('--D:/xxxx/co-mod-gan/validation_set', help='Root directory of validation images', default=None)
    parser.add_argument('--D:/xxxx/co-mod-gan/training_set', help='Root directory of training images', default=None)
    parser.add_argument('--resolution', help='Target resolution', type=int, default=512)
    parser.add_argument('--num-channels', help='Number of channels of images', type=int, default=3)
    parser.add_argument('--num-processes', help='Number of parallel processes', type=int, default=8)
    parser.add_argument('--shuffle', default=False, action='store_true')
    parser.add_argument('--compressed', default=False, action='store_true')
    parser.add_argument('--pix2pix', default=False, action='store_true')

    args = parser.parse_args()
    create_from_images(**vars(args))


if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

It is giving error：

usage: create_from_images.py [-h]
                             --C:\Users\xxxx\PycharmProjects\co-mod-gan\generated_TFRecord

And if -- deleted,

    parser.add_argument('D:/xxxx/co-mod-gan/validation_set', help='Root directory of validation images', default=None)
    parser.add_argument('D:/xxxx/co-mod-gan/training_set', help='Root directory of training images', default=None)

Another error occurs:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise TypeError(msg)

Would you please help me point what am I doing wrong here? Thank you very much.

I'm new to programming and really appreciate any of your help :)

You do not need to modify the code. Just python create_from_images.py --tfrecord-dir=xxx and the same for other arguments would work.

I really appreciate for your amazing work. Thank you soooo much! I am sorry for the silly question.
