I am trying to install tensorflow directly from the source using
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow and following the provided tutorial to build a wheel. Here is a full list of my commands used (bazel already installed) :
git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow
sudo pip3 install dev
sudo pip3 install numpy
sudo pip3 install wheel
./configure (at tensorflow source directory)
bazel build -c opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package
bazel-bin/tensorflow/tools/pip_package/build_pip_package /tmp/tensorflow_pkg
sudo pip3 install /tmp/tensorflow_pkg/tensorflow-0.12.0rc0-cp35-none-any.whl
Up until this point everything works without error and the wheel file appears to be successfully installed as a module. However, when I try to import tensorflow in a python3 session, I received this error:

Error importing tensorflow. Unless you are using bazel,
you should not try to import tensorflow from its source directory;
please exit the tensorflow source tree, and relaunch your python interpreter
from there.
Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!
The missing symbol _PyCObject_Type suggests that TensorFlow's C++ Python extension was compiled against a different version of Python from the one that built the PIP package. When you run ./configure before the bazel build, make sure that you answer the following prompt:
Please specify the location of python. [Default is /usr/bin/python]:
...with the correct path to your python 3.5 executable.
