ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.examples.tutorials'

Question

I have pip installed my tensorflow cpu version.

Version: 2.0.0

Summary: TensorFlow is an open source machine learning framework for everyone.

Following is the code which I am trying to run

import tensorflow as tf

from tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist import input_data

mnist = input_data.read_data_sets("/tmp/data/", one_hot = True)

Following is the error which I get when I try to run my code:

Following is the location of my code:

I have already tried putting it in tuorial folder as other posts have mentioned. Does anyone have any solution?

Answer 1

If you can ! git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow.git the TF GitHub repo and in the downloaded folders locate where the input_data.py file is then copy and paste it in the working directory of your project then import input_data on your python terminal, it will sort it out for you.

It works even on colab.

you can watch this beautiful video that helps to explain it even better:
