TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'JpegImageFile'

File "C:\Users\Lenovo\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\platform\app.py", line 48, in run
_sys.exit(main(_sys.argv[:1] + flags_passthrough))

return scipy.misc.imread(path).astype(np.float)
TypeError: float() argument must be a string or a number, not 'JpegImageFile'

How to solve it?

Start by reproducing the traceback through main.py and model.py, then inspect utils.py line 39 where scipy.misc.imread(path).astype(np.float) is called. Check the project’s expected Python, TensorFlow, SciPy, and image-library versions; done means the data-loading path handles the reported JPEG input without this TypeError.
