AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'version' despite being installed

izzy · April 19, 2023, 12:59pm

I have installed TF 2.12.0 in a conda environment ‘tf’ and am getting this error in JupyterLab IPYNB Notebook, running in ‘tf’ kernel.

Running this code gives me attribute error

!pip install tensorflow==2.12.0
import tensorflow as tf
print(tf.__version__)
print(tf.version)

I cannot figure out why is this error happening? I Already read other solutions but they didn’t work

THIS suggested that there are 2 different kinds of TF: so i have already uninstalled this one : tensorflow-base 2.10.0 and restarted everything, now there is only 1 TF version but same error persists

fibikong · April 20, 2023, 5:12am

I experienced some problems when i update tensorflow from 2.9 to 2.12.
how about using lower version?

Kiran_Sai_Ramineni · April 20, 2023, 9:08am

Hi @izzy, Could you please try to uninstall and install 2.12.0 also. Let us know if the issue still persists. Thank You.

izzy · May 2, 2023, 8:28pm

ok thanks for the answers, @Kiran_Sai_Ramineni @fibikong
I downgraded to 2.10.0 but now i’m getting this error:
RuntimeError: The Tensorflow package version needs to be at least 2.11.0 for KerasCV to run. Currently, your TensorFlow version is 2.10.0. Please upgrade with $ pip install --upgrade tensorflow. You can use pip freeze to check afterwards that everything is ok.
Version 2.11.0 gives the same error i stated in the question
It seems like i can’t use any version

Kiran_Sai_Ramineni · May 3, 2023, 6:26am

Hi @izzy, Could you please create a new virtual environment and install tensorflow version 2.11. If you face any error please share the error log. Thank You.

Do you find the solution to this problem?
