AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat' running in Pycharm

Question

I run in Pycharm: import tensorflow as tf

print(tf.version)

I got error: "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\python.exe" "C:/Users/Hoi Yee/PycharmProjects/untitled1/ss.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Hoi Yee/PycharmProjects/untitled1/ss.py", line 1, in import tensorflow as tf File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_init_.py", line 101, in from tensorflow_core import * File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_init_.py", line 46, in from . api.v2 import compat File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat_init.py", line 39, in from . import v1 File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1_init_.py", line 32, in from . import compat File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1\compat_init_.py", line 39, in from . import v1 File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1\compat\v1_init_.py", line 29, in from tensorflow.api.v2.compat.v1 import app File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat_init.py", line 39, in from . import v1 File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1_init_.py", line 32, in from . import compat File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1\compat_init_.py", line 39, in from . import v1 File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_core_api\v2\compat\v1\compat\v1_init_.py", line 667, in from tensorflow_estimator.python.estimator.api.v1 import estimator File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator_init.py", line 10, in from tensorflow_estimator.api.v1 import estimator File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator_api\v1\estimator_init.py", line 10, in from tensorflow_estimator.api.v1.estimator import experimental File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator_api\v1\estimator\experimental_init.py", line 10, in from tensorflow_estimator.python.estimator.canned.dnn import dnn_logit_fn_builder File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator\python\estimator\canned\dnn.py", line 33, in from tensorflow_estimator.python.estimator import estimator File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator\python\estimator\estimator.py", line 53, in from tensorflow_estimator.python.estimator import util as estimator_util File "C:\Users\Hoi Yee\anaconda3\envs\tensorflow1\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator\python\estimator\util.py", line 75, in class _DatasetInitializerHook(tf.compat.v1.train.SessionRunHook): AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat'

how to solve?

Answer 1

how did you import it?

perhaps, this one might help you:

import tensorflow._api.v2.feature_column as fc

... since "import tensorflow.compat.v2.feature_column as fc" is not working (yet in pycharm, in feb 2021 ..)

about:

"tf.compat allows you to write code that works both in TensorFlow 1.x and 2.x. For example, the following piece of code:" source: What is the purpose of tf.compat?
