Conda, Tensorflow, and Keras version mismatch issue

When I try to use Keras in my Conda environment I get this error:

pr_curve_pb = _pr_curve_summary.pb attributeerror: 'module' object has no attribute 'pb'

I tried to uninstall and install again but did not work.

Solution

  • I got a very similar error:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/runner/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorflow/__init__.py", line 99, in <module>

    pr_curve_pb = _pr_curve_summary.pb
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pb'

    This is with Python 2.7 and TF 1.15.0, within a GitHub CI workflow.

    While searching for this exception, I found this post here, but also this: AttributeError: module 'tensorboard.plugins.pr_curve.summary' has no attribute 'pb'

    This links to this comment, which suggests to pip uninstall tensorflow-tensorboard, as there was the old package tensorflow-tensorboard, and the new package tensorboard, and that might mess it up.

    In my case, this did not help (I got an exception that tensorflow-tensorboard is not installed, but neither was tensorboard), although the package tensorboard existed in ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages.

    The solution, which worked for me, was simply:

    rm -rf ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/tensorboard*

    And then followed by a new installation of TF (pip install --user tensorflow==1.15.0).
