load weights require h5py

Im trying to run a keras model,trying to use pre-trained VGGnet- When i run this Command base_model = applications.VGG16(weights='imagenet', include_top=False, input_shape=(img_rows, img_cols, img_channel))

I get this error:

  ``------------------------------------------------------------------

   2566         f = h5py.File(filepath, mode='r')
   2567         if 'layer_names' not in f.attrs and 'model_weights' in f:

ImportError: `load_weights` requires h5py.``

I went through some github issues page where a relevant question was asked,but no solutions were given. Any suggestions?

you can delete files and install lover version of h5py (do it old classic way select files and delete). this actualy fix my problem (I install h5py 3.10 with pip install somehow you cant install lower version with pip install h5py==3.10 or conda install h5py==3.10 wthout delete files)

technically you need dependencies, such as:

pip install cython
sudo apt-get install libhdf5-dev
pip install h5py

And restart your jupyter notebok.

in the case that "pip install h5py" does not work, and you see something like: "... already satisfied". in python 3 use "pip3 install h5py"/ this will work.

Or if using conda:
