tensorflow: ModuleNotFoundError tensorflow.python' is not a package

Please make sure that this is a bug. As per our GitHub Policy, we only address code/doc bugs, performance issues, feature requests and build/installation issues on GitHub. tag:bug_template

System information

OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Windows 10 Home
TensorFlow version (use command below): 2.0
Python version: 3.6.7 and 3.7.4

Describe the current behavior When trying to import Tensorflow using this line: import tensorflow as tf

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “singlestock/code.py”, line 1, in <module> import tensorflow as tf File “D:\documenten\programs\Python\3.6.7\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_init_.py”, line 98, in <module> from tensorflow_core import * File “D:\documenten\programs\Python\3.6.7\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_init_.py”, line 40, in <module> from tensorflow.python.tools import module_util as _module_util ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘tensorflow.python.tools’; ‘tensorflow.python’ is not a package

Describe the expected behavior I shouldn’t get this error. I should just be able to import tensorflow and then use it.

Code to reproduce the issue Provide a reproducible test case that is the bare minimum necessary to generate the problem.

This is the code which doesn’t work for me: I’ve tried this in python 3.7 and 3.6.

import tensorflow as tf

tensor = tf.convert_to_tensor([[1, 2, 3, 4], [2, 3, 4, 5]], tf.int32)
print("hello")

I don’t think the issue is in the code though, but I have no idea what the problem could be.

Other info / logs Include any logs or source code that would be helpful to diagnose the problem. If including tracebacks, please include the full traceback. Large logs and files should be attached.

@R0b4, I had the same problem when I unimaginatively named file for the tutorial I was following csv.py.

It broke the execution of another tutorial example.py in the same directory with described symptomes.

After renaming csv.py problem resolved.

@R0b4 Both csv.py and code.py clash with modules from python standard library. Placing them in the working directory messes tensorflow import.

Hey all, I just had a similar issue due to completely different causes - mainly versioning and pip binary aliases - so I figured I’ll share what worked for me :

python3 --version
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip
python3 -m pip install tensorflow

On my system python3 links to version 3.6.9, just be sure to have a compatible one.

Cheers 👍

I can confirm issue with import statements. Just installed tensorflow on the clean system using pip (Python 3.7.0), this installs tensorflow 2.0.

When I try to execute my code I get

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.tools'; 'tensorflow.python' is not a package

Looking in the site-packages, it seems directory layout in tensorflow 2.0 was changed and now there is no tensorflow.python but there is tensorflow_core.python. And this is the reason for this import error.

巨感谢，目录有个csv.py改名后，我又可以愉快的玩耍了
