ImportError: No module named inception

Question

Im using imagenet train script (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/inception/inception/imagenet_train.py) to train my own image data set to classify in tensorflow (in Oracle VM Virtual box) and im getting an error as below

shri@shri-VirtualBox:~/Desktop/Test/inception_test/models/inception/inception$ python imagenet_train.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "imagenet_train.py", line 25, in from inception import inception_train ImportError: No module named inception

Could someone please help understand the problem and how do i fix it?

Regards, Shri

Answer 1

This sounds like a Python module search path issue. The import statements in the particular script imagenet_train.py and other scripts in that directory assume that they can find the other scripts in a submodule called inception, but when you run the script from the same directory, Python can't find that submodule.

The easiest way to fix this is to change to the parent directory (cd ~/Desktop/Test/inception_test/models/inception) and run the script as follows:

$ python inception/inception_train.py
