ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.examples'

Question

When I import tensorflow

import tensorflow as tf

I don't get an error. However, I do get the error below. I'm using spyder if that helps.

As per other questions, I ensured up to date (v1.8) tensorflow using both conda and then pip installs. This didn't resolve the issue. Please assist.

import tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist.input_data as input_data

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.examples'

go to the place where tensorflow has been installed and check whether example folder exists — Ishara Madhawa, May 13 '18 at 07:02

I think you should use like bellow on tensorflow 2

import tensorflow_datasets
mnist = tensorflow_datasets.load('mnist')

ugn! Now I've got `ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow_datasets'` lol – Monica Heddneck Jan 13 '21 at 23:12

@MonicaHeddneck - You then need to install the package with `pip install tensorflow_datasets`. Done – Shailen Sep 23 '21 at 08:04

Use the following, it will download the data. It is from the tensorflow documentation

import tensorflow as tf
(train_images, train_labels), (test_images, test_labels) = tf.keras.datasets.mnist.load_data()

This is the only thing that worked for me. – Monica Heddneck Jan 13 '21 at 23:14

To load the mnist dataset in Tensorflow 2.0:

mnist = tf.keras.datasets.mnist

(x_train, y_train), (x_test, y_test) = mnist.load_data()

Here is the reference: TensorFlow 2 quickstart for beginners

Another method(also works for locally saved dataset):

DATA_URL = 'https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/tf-keras-datasets/mnist.npz'

path = tf.keras.utils.get_file('mnist.npz', DATA_URL)
with np.load(path) as data:
  train_examples = data['x_train']
  train_labels = data['y_train']
  test_examples = data['x_test']
  test_labels = data['y_test']

Here is the reference: Load NumPy data

Sometimes the TensorFlow examples are not pre-downloaded, so you might need to run the below command to install the examples from Github using the below code.

!pip install -q git+https://github.com/tensorflow/examples.git

Sometimes on downloading the TF, the example directory might not be available. You could rectify it by linking the 'example' directory from the GitHub repo into the tensorflow python wheel folder. That way you don't need to change the code.

If this doesn't work, try to replace import tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist.input_data as input_data as import input_data as mentioned in the link: TensorFlow MNIST example not running with fully_connected_feed.py

Hope this helps!!!

Thanks. After deleting various installations and reinstalling tensorflow, dask and numpy eventually it corrected itself. I'm not sure what actually sorted it out. – alwayscurious May 14 '18 at 20:48

Different approach OS: Windows

copy from:

https://github.com/tensorflow/examples/tree/master/tensorflow_examples

to

[python folder]\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow_examples

use

import tensorflow_examples

example

from tensorflow_examples.models import pix2pix

but for datasets use:

pip install tensorflow_datasets

I solved this issue by adding **tutorial** directory into tensorflow_core, usually this issue pops up when lacking of this file

..\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core\examples check this directory to see if you have tutorials file. lack of tutorial file
If you do not have, then go to https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow download the zip file, and extract all (or open it). download tutorial file
find tutorials file from tensorflow-master\tensorflow\examples\, and copy it to ..\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core\examples.
Issue resolved. run

from tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist import input_data
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
mnist = input_data.read_data_sets("MNIST_data", one_hot=True)
im = mnist.train.images[1]
im = im.reshape(-1, 28)
plt.imshow(im)

I solved this issue on Mac, simply copy the official examples to tensorflow_core/examples directory.

pull the tensorflow code

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow
copy the examples to the system python3 directory

cp -a tensorflow/examples/ /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow_core/examples/

You need to download the data sets to use it.

Command:

pip install tensorflow-datasets

Code part:

mnist_train = tfds.load(name="mnist", split="train")

You are done now. Happy coding! :)

You just need to download the lost files and copy them to the tensorflow-core/ examples.

for me on windows 10 is : C:\Users\Amirreza\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core\examples

This folder has been deleted at September/2020. See their repository.

I used the commands:

git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git
tensorflow> git checkout c31acd156c
