Unsolved 'tensorflow.python.keras.utils.generic_utils' has no attribute 'populate_dict_with_module_objects'

Question

I'm doing a Detection model and I'm in the step of Configuration For Transfer Learning. The error shows when I try to do these import:

import tensorflow as tf
from keras import utils
from object_detection.utils import config_util
from object_detection.protos import pipeline_pb2
from google.protobuf import text_format

I have already insert

def populate_dict_with_module_objects(target_dict, modules, obj_filter):
  for module in modules:
    for name in dir(module):
      obj = getattr(module, name)
      if obj_filter(obj):
        target_dict[name] = obj

in C:\Users\Chiara\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\Lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\keras\utils but it doesn't work.

I don't have tf.nighly installed.

This is the traceback:

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.python.keras.utils.generic_utils' has no attribute 'populate_dict_with_module_objects'

Also from the pip list I understand that I have installed tensorflow 2.4.1 but if I do tf .__ version__ it tells me 2.2.0. I have Python 3.8.1.

Thank you so much !!
