ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow.python'

Question

here i wanna run this code for try neural network with python :

from __future__ import print_function 
from keras.datasets import mnist from 
keras.models import Sequential from 
keras.layers import Activation, Dense 
from keras.utils import np_utils 
import tensorflow as tf


batch_size = 128 nb_classes = 10 nb_epoch = 12

#input image dimensions img_row, img_cols = 28, 28

#the data, Shuffled and split between train and test sets (X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()


X_train = X_train.reshape(X_train.shape[0], img_rows * img_cols)

X_test = X_test.reshape(X_test.shape[0], img_row * img_cols)

X_train = X_train.astype('float32') X_test = X_test.astype('float32') X_train /= 255 X_text /= 255

print('X_train shape:', X_train.shape) print(X_train_shape[0], 'train samples') print(X_test_shape[0], 'test samples')

#convert class vectors to binary category

Y_train = np_utils.to_categorical(y_train, nb_classes)

Y_test = np_utils.to_categorical(y_test, nb_classes)

model = Sequential()

model.add(Dense(output_dim = 800, input_dim=X_train.shape[1])) model.add(Activation('sigmoid')) model.add(Dense(nb_classes)) model.add(Actiovation('softmax'))

model.compile(loss = 'categorical_crossentropy', optimizer='sgd', metrics=['accuracy']) #crossentropy fungsi galat atau fungsi error dipakai kalo class biner



#model.fit(X_train, Y_train, batch_size=batch_size, nb_epoch = nb_poch, verbose=1, validation_data=(X_test, Y_test))

score = model.evaluate(X_test, Y_test, verbose = 0) print('Test Score : ', score[0]) print('Test Accuracy : ', score[1])

at the beginning it must install keras, and success. but when try to run the code at the first the error is :

ImportError : No Moduled Name "tensorflow"

then i install using pip :

pip install tensorflow

after installation i try to run code again, got another message like this :

ImportError : No Moduled Name "tensorflow.python"

Message Error i dont have any idea with the error

Is it this one: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/2885 — ppasler, Jan 01 '17 at 13:00

Uninstall tensorflow:

pip uninstall tensorflow

Then reinstall it:

pip install tensorflow

Hi @zhaozheng would you be able to explain as to why this occurs; in the original `tensorflow`, why is the `tensorflow.python` not properly installed with it. – Sumax Aug 01 '19 at 08:32

Not sure if I should be happy or sad that this actually worked – Sumant Agnihotri Feb 28 '20 at 08:19
same with me , this method even worked for me even though my error was different :) – Karan Oct 25 '20 at 18:02

This 'works' because you most likely had a gpu based tensorflow installed before. By uninstalling and reinstalling you just changed that to cpu. Since there are other dependencies for gpu support, it had issues, now you don't face those issues because it is "downgraded" to cpu. – Stack crashed Nov 27 '21 at 15:59

for me upgrading pip helped,

pip install --upgrade pip
pip uninstall tensorflow
pip install tensorflow

If the above does not help, you can try installing non-cached tensorflow by adding `--no-cache-dir` to the last code line. – mjkvaak Oct 15 '21 at 09:48

I have the same problem in Windows 10. Until now I don't know why.

But if I create an virtual environment

cd <your project path>

Install virtualenv

pip install virtualenv

Create the virtual environment

virtualenv <envname>

Activate the env

Windows Powershell: .\<envname>\Scripts\activate
Unix with Bash or zsh: source <envname>/bin/activate

Then now you install tensorflow

(<envname>) $ pip install tensorflow

And then run Hello World successfully.

*Don't forget that you need to activate or configure everytime the virtual environment jupyter, command-line, etc.

If you have python 3.6 and up (most likely), a pip3 package will be installed by default. Installing tensorflow using pip3 will make the path of the installation visible to python. So try

pip3 install tensorflow

First response ever, hope it helps!

I had the same issue running a python file named tensorflow.py, after renaming it the issue dissapeared and the file started running properly.

Open a python shell and type:

help('modules')

This will gather a list of all available modules. tensor flow should not show up, as it is not installed correctly (according to the traceback).
Then:

import sys
sys.path()

This will give you a list of system paths where modules can be installed. If there is a known issue with installing a module, I recommend moving the files manually to the right system path.
The system path depends on the OS you are using, so without knowing that I can't tell you where to move it.
But sys.path() can!

My tensorflow is in `help('modules')` list. – Boooooooooms Dec 31 '18 at 03:34

executing sys.path() gives this error `TypeError: 'list' object is not callable` I think it should be `sys.path` as it is not a method – Oshada Apr 02 '19 at 04:59

Try changing your file name to something unique. Apparently the python script with same name exits inside, this is the one thats causing the issue. I was using my script, was working fine with bert_base_tf_20.py but when i changed the name to code.py , this happened. So changed it back to bert_code.py

Working fine

There's another problem which is not mentioned here, and took me a bit to figure out. If you have python installed on C:\Program Files\Python, when installing tensorflow, pip will default to another directory. Removing python from C:\Program Files\Python and installing it in another directory such as C:\Python fixed the issue for me.

 tensorflow==2.5.0

using pip worked.

try to change the actual running python directory. and make sure that running python directory is not where you downloaded tensorflow. else go to any other directory and you're fine. i hope that solves your probleme.
