AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'float32'

Question

While setting an environment for tensorflow models, when I run python model_builder_test.py at last step, causes AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'float32', does someone know how to fix it? Thanks.

I had the same problem when I first installed tensorflow and tensorflow-gpu. Then uninstalled tensorflow-gpu. tensorflow remained but uninstall process must have messed it up. — vuamitom

tensorflow has float32.

In [1]: import tensorflow as tf

In [2]: tf.float32
Out[2]: tf.float32

Above is my output confirming that. This is a known problem while installing in windows.You can take a look Here.

To fix it, you just need to reinstall tensorflow using the following commang

pip install --upgrade --force-reinstall tensorflow

Note:One More common mistake is naming a module as tensorflow. this might make it to import this module you created which is empty
