problems for loading gz files

[tuxette]

Using your example data, python ACCOST.py 40000 example/bins_chr.txt example/info.tab hIMR90 hESC, I run into the problem when trying to load gz files:

Welcome. Starting ACCOST.
Output will be written to output_dir
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/scipy/__init__.py:146: UserWarning: A NumPy version >=1.17.3 and <1.25.0 is required for this version of SciPy (detected version 1.26.3
  warnings.warn(f"A NumPy version >={np_minversion} and <{np_maxversion}"
temp directory currently set to: /tmp/tmpq18rbxs0
Reading bin midpoints and mappability from example/bins_chr.txt
Found 3347 bins, including 113 low mappability bins.
Read 1 pairs of files from example/info.tab.

    pvalfh = open(pval_file,'r')

ACCOST Done!

In this precise example, replacing line by line.decode() after lieng 819 of contact_count.py (when relevant) solves the problem but I struggle more with a similar problem due to the use of csv.Sniffer line 106.

(I can also provide the versions of the loaded module if needed)
