Tensorflow Object Detection API installation error 'AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'computation''

Question

I'm following the install instructions for the TF Object Detection API here. However the final step is to test the install with: python object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py

It fails with error:

AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'computation'

Any ideas? The path is correctly set as specified and I'm running from within the models folder. I'm using the AWS Deep Learning AMI and pandas does exist.

Full stack trace:

Answer 1

I had the same problem, I suggest using the following command in your terminal/cmd:
conda update dask
Alternatively you can use the following command to change the version of your pandas, although I suggest the first solution:
conda install pandas=0.19.2
