Working on Tensorflow :: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_pywrap_tensorflow_internal'

Question

I am stuck since hours but the issue is still not resolved.

I am using only the CPU version and getting the same No module named 'pywrap_tensorflow_internal' error ::

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

See https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_sources#common_installation_problems

for some common reasons and solutions. Include the entire stack trace above this error message when asking for help.

Checked the previous solutions that have been mentioned on StackOverflow and Github and based on those made the following changes:-

**1. I have placed msvcp140.dll in system32(64-bit file) and SysWOW64(32-bit file) as advised in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61vwFxnnh5c

2. I have also downloaded and installed Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3

3. On running the selfcheck.py, I am getting the following result:: ERROR: Failed to import the TensorFlow module.**

WARNING! This script is no longer maintained! Since TensorFlow 1.4, the self-check has been integrated with TensorFlow itself, and any missing DLLs will be reported when you execute the import tensorflow statement. The error messages printed below refer to TensorFlow 1.3 and earlier, and are inaccurate for later versions of TensorFlow.

Python version is 3.6.

TensorFlow is installed at: C:\Python\Python36\lib\site-packages\tensorflow

Could not load 'cudart64_80.dll'. The GPU version of TensorFlow requires that this DLL be installed in a directory that is named in your %PATH% environment variable. Download and install CUDA 8.0 from this URL: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit

Could not load 'nvcuda.dll'. The GPU version of TensorFlow requires that this DLL be installed in a directory that is named in your %PATH% environment variable. Typically it is installed in 'C:\Windows\System32'. If it is not present, ensure that you have a CUDA-capable GPU with the correct driver installed.

Could not load 'cudnn64_5.dll'. The GPU version of TensorFlow requires that this DLL be installed in a directory that is named in your %PATH% environment variable. Note that installing cuDNN is a separate step from installing CUDA, and it is often found in a different directory from the CUDA DLLs. You may install the necessary DLL by downloading cuDNN 5.1 from this URL: https://developer.nvidia.com/cudnn

Could not find cuDNN.

Please Help

Answer 1

I encountered the same issue and the problem was with the version of TensorFlow. Follow the below steps in order to remedy this situation:

1. Open the terminal via Anaconda navigator.
2. Run the command: conda install tensorflow
3. Try working with your code again and it will just work fine.
