Import tensorflow error

Question

I installed tensorflow using anaconda distribution and I am unable to use the same in python.

When I import tensorflow using import tensorflow I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/Users/kaxilnaik/anaconda/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 23, in <module>

I tried reinstalling anaconda as well as uninstalling protobuf which I found as an answer somewhere in stackoverflow.

You should uninstall tensorflow as well, and make sure protobuf is uninstalled. You can try brew uninstall protobuf as well. Then reinstall protobuf, and tensorflow. Tensorflow requires protobuf version 3.x

pip install 'protobuf>=3.0.0a3'

You can test your protobuf version:

import google.protobuf
>>> print google.protobuf.__version__

I already have the latest protobuf. `protobuf 3.0.0b2` Also I have uninstalled & reinstalled tensorflow & protobuf. But still the same error – kaxil Oct 04 '16 at 13:27
Did you print your protobuf version? It could be reading from incorrectly set PATH. If it is correct, there is some other installation problem. – Christian Safka Oct 04 '16 at 13:32
