Unable to import TensorFlow_hub, getting "AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'flags'" message

I am trying to import TensorFlow hub in my local jupyter notebook but unable to do so. I have created a local conda environment installed all packages. Current tf version: Tensorflow 2.0 and local tf hub version : tensorflow-hub 0.1.1. when I run the "import tensorflow_hub as hub" code i get the below error.

Since TensorFlow Hub's initial support for Tensorflow 2.0 started from TensorFlow Hub 0.3.0 version, the issue is in the version of TensorFlow Hub(0.1.1) you are using which only supports Tensorflow 1.x versions.

Upgrade your TensorFlow Hub to latest( 0.8.0 as of today) using below command. 

pip install --upgrade tensorflow-hub

As you can see in the error log, the tensorflow hub internally trying to assign FLAGS = tf.flags.FLAGS.
In Tensorlow 2.x tf.flags.FLAGS has been moved to tf.compat.flags.Flag which is not addressed in Tensorflow Hub 0.1.1.

Now in the latest Tensorflow Hub(0.8.0) they are using flags like below. 

from absl import flags
FLAGS = flags.FLAGS

Upgrading Tensorflow Hub should resolve your issue.
