Keras, tensorflow importing error in sublime text and spyder but working in command line

Question

In command-line, everything seems fine. But when I am importing tensorflow in sublime text or spyder it gives the following error -

import tensorflow as tf

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 58, in from tensorflow.python.pywrap_tensorflow_internal import * File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py", line 28, in _pywrap_tensorflow_internal = swig_import_helper() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py", line 24, in swig_import_helper _mod = imp.load_module('_pywrap_tensorflow_internal', fp, pathname, description) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/imp.py", line 243, in load_module return load_dynamic(name, filename, file) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/imp.py", line 343, in load_dynamic return _load(spec) ImportError: libcublas.so.9.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

When I am importing keras

import keras

following is the error

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

Note - I am using pip for my python packages and not conda

Answer 1

This typically occurs when multiple versions of python are installed with different paths. You can check to see if you have multiple installations by opening up the IDLE terminal and using

import sys

sys.version
sys.path

These commands will print the system PATH and version of the current instance of python. Use this in both IDLE and the command line terminal to see where each differ. Once you know which version is the one you want then just remove the other. You could also remove all python instances and then reinstall a clean python environment but then you would have to re-install all of your modules using pip.
