tenserflow.compact module not found

I am getting error tensorflow.compact module not found after importing the tensorflow

import tensorflow as tf
from object_detection.utils import config_util

And the error I am getting is

    ModuleNotFoundError                       Traceback (most recent call last)

Solution

  • The reason why you see this error should be related with tensorflow version.

    import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf

    It means to use module in older versions of TensorFlow to provide compatibility with TensorFlow 1.x code.

    However, for certain version of tensorflow, it may remove older support for your module.

    One solution is to downgrade your tensorflow version, or check whether related support for object_detection in your current version
