So I'm still new in facial recognition and using openvino.

I'm trying to work with the face_recognition_demo.

I'm having this error, and I can't understand its source.

PS C:\Program Files (x86)\Intel\openvino_2021\face_recognition_demo> python ./face_recognition_demo.py -h
Traceback (most recent call last):
