ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.types'

Question

Does anyone know how to solve this error? I have tensorflow installed as I am using Anaconda Navigator and I get this error when trying to compile my model on Jupyter Notebook.

The installed versions are:

Tensorflow Version: 2.3.1 conda version: 4.8.3

Answer 1

Probably you're using a Tensorflow version == 1.15, try to execute in your terminal the next line:

pip install tensorflow-estimator==1.15.0

Answer 2

For the benefit of posterity... I had the same problem with tensorflow.python.types and it did not require a resintallation of tensorflow to resolve: I was running TF1.15 but had somehow managed to get tensorflow-estimator 2.4 installed as well.

Removing TE 2.4 (and the wrong version of tensorboard) and making sure I had TF 1.15.1 and all was well again.

To note in passing, the mangled environment might also have been responsible for the strange "cannot load the convolution algorithm" error with cuDNN.

I make no specific claims, merely adduce evidence.

Answer 3

Having installed tensorflow with Bazel package builder, I reinstall tensorflow with:

pip install tensorflow==2.0 --user

Answer 4

Having installed tensorflow with Bazel package builder, shall I reinstall tensor flow with:

pip install tensorflow==2.0 --user

Because I have the same error:

from tensorflow.python.types import core ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.types'

When I run TF but no Anaconda involved... It is from pycharm.

Answer 5

Downgrading to tensorflow 2.0 worked for me.

pip install tensorflow==2.0 --user

I think it is because of .dll dependencies but I am not sure.
