Tensorflow no module named official

I am trying to use the nets from the official mnist directory of tensorflows model repository. On my windows system I receive this error:

C:\Users\ry\Desktop\NNTesting\models\official\mnist>mnist_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\ry\Desktop\NNTesting\models\official\mnist\mnist_test.py",line 24, in <module>
    from official.mnist import mnist
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'official'

I have followed their official directions and set my python path using

set PYTHONPATH="PYTHONPATH:"%cd%"

and can confirm that

PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:C:\Users\ry\Desktop\NNTesting\models"

and I have also installed the dependencies successfully. Does anyone have experience using these models on a windows system and can help me with this pathing issue? I'm not sure what I have done incorrectly here.

Thanks

I had the same error on windows , after taking the following steps I was able to get rid of this error.

  1. git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/official
  2. "Edit the system environment variables" add a new environment variable named PayhtonPath addressing the "models" folder of the downloaded git repo.
  3. restart the pc

For someone struggling in mac os (M1 or any other) set

os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] = 'PYTHONPATH:relative/path/to/Tensorflow/models'

from jupyter notebook as somehow it is not taking it from shell variable so setting it up manually worked also installing

pip install tf-models-official

did not worked for me though it says that dependency is already satisfied.

jupyter. Clone from official git and manually appended the path to sys.

!git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

import sys
sys.path.append("C:/Windows/System32/models")
sys.path

add the model directory to PYTHONPATH.

import os
os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] += ':/content/models/research/:/content/models/research/slim/'

For Google Colab I needed to add the the model dir also to the Systems path:

!git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/models.git

import os
os.environ['PYTHONPATH'] += ":/content/models"

import sys
sys.path.append("/content/models")

I had exactly the same question as you did, and the following solution solved this problem.

There is an error in the tensorflow/models/official README.md

https://github.com/tensorflow/models/tree/master/official

Wrong

export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/models"

Correct

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/models

I was setting up to run the NMT model and ran into the same problem. It took me bit to figure out exactly which folder should be added to PYTHONPATH.

I tried several folders inside my example's directory with no luck. I finally understood what that import was trying to tell me... "from official.transformer.utils import tokenizer" means "add the parent of directory 'official' to PYTHONPATH".

For me, this was just the top-level 'models-master' directory that I obtained from GitHub. Once I added /path/to/models-master, I was past this obstacle.

I had the same problem. Did you use windows 10? Make sure you run the command prompt as "administrator". I used it in VS code at first, no warning, and didn't work. But it worked when I run a separate prompt window as "administrator".

set PYTHONPATH=path\to\models

then run the model.

The Official Models are made available as a Python module. To run the models and associated scripts, add the top-level /models folder to the Python path with the command: export PYTHONPATH="$PYTHONPATH:/path/to/models"

if anyone has this problem make sure that the python path variable doesn't have quotations in it. For some reason, the readme has quotations around it.

Here is the correct way to set it

PYTHONPATH=path\to\models
