Before fixing:  
from tensorflow.python.keras.engine import Sequential ~~ doesn’t work  
from tensorflow.python.keras.layers import Dense ~~ works  
from tensorflow.python.keras.optimizer\_v2 import Adam ~~ doesn’t work

After:  
from tensorflow.python.keras.engine import sequential  
from tensorflow.python.keras.layers import Dense  
from tensorflow.python.keras.optimizer\_v2 import adam

two letters took me at least a month to figure out.

Hi @Masashi, `tensorflow/python/keras` code is a legacy copy of Keras since the TensorFlow v2.7 release, and was deleted in the from v2.12. Please remove any import of `tensorflow.python.keras` and use the public API with `from tensorflow import keras` or `import tensorflow as tf; tf.keras`. Thank You.
