'module' object has no attribute 'SummaryWriter'

I'm using Tensorflow version 0.12.head with Python 2.7 on a linux CentOS 7 and when I run this:

import tensorflow as tf

a = tf.constant(5, name="input_a")
b = tf.constant(3, name="input_b")
c = tf.mul(a, b, name="mul_c")
d = tf.add(a, b, name="add_d")
e = tf.add(c, d, name="add_e")
sess = tf.Session()
output = sess.run(e)
writer = tf.train.SummaryWriter('./my_graph', sess.graph)

I get this error:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last) <ipython-input-6-29c037e85eec> in <module>()
----> 1 writer = tf.train.SummaryWriter('./my_graph', sess.graph)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'SummaryWriter'

I have run these two commands because there is bug issue on Github for the same problem:

>>> import six
>>> print(six.__version__)
1.10.0
>>> print(dir(six.moves.queue)) ['Empty', 'Full', 'LifoQueue', 'PriorityQueue', 'Queue', '__all__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', '_threading', '_time', 'deque', 'heapq']
>>> print(six.moves.queue.__file__) /usr/lib64/python2.7/Queue.pyc

I'm new in Python and in Tensorflow. Do you know how can I fix this error?

I have changed SummaryWriter with FileWriter:

writer = tf.train.FileWriter('./my_graph', sess.graph)

And I get the same error but with FileWriter function:

AttributeError                            Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-8-daa50ea2b8f9> in <module>()
----> 1 writer = tf.train.FileWriter('./my_graph', sess.graph)

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'FileWriter'

I have also run it in a terminal and I get the same result:

This is what worked for me.

tf.summary.create_file_writer('/pnplogs')

create_file_writer() creates a summary file writer for the given log directory (which in my case is pnplogs)

import tensorflow as tf
a = tf.constant(5, name="input_a")
b = tf.constant(3, name="input_a")
c = tf.multiply(a,b, name="mul_c")
d = tf.add(a,b, name="add_d")
e = tf.add(c,d, name="add_e")

sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(e)
output = sess.run(e)

writer = tf.summary.create_file_writer('/tmp/tensorflow_logs', graph=sess.graph)

print(sess.run(e))

tf.train.SummaryWriter is deprecated, instead use tf.summary.FileWriter.

↳ Adding Summaries to Event Files

It will be removed after 2016-11-30. Instructions for updating: Please switch to tf.summary.FileWriter. The interface and behavior is the same; this is just a rename.

<TF Official Migration Page> ✳︎ includes all current deprecated/renamed functions ✳︎

In a new version of TF, all summary functions were renamed.

Summary functions have been consolidated under the tf.summary namespace.

i had the same problem...i am using pything 3.5.2...see solution below...hope this works for you..it did for me (it will create a log in your tmp folder):

import tensorflow as tf
a = tf.constant(5, name="input_a")
b = tf.constant(3, name="input_a")
c = tf.multiply(a,b, name="mul_c")
d = tf.add(a,b, name="add_d")
e = tf.add(c,d, name="add_e")

sess = tf.Session()
sess.run(e)
output = sess.run(e)

writer = tf.summary.FileWriter('/tmp/tensorflow_logs', graph=sess.graph)

print(sess.run(e))
