keras is not running even after installing tensorflow

Question

i have installed "Anaconda3-2020.07-Windows-x86_64" and python "python-3.8.0". after that, i have installed keras and then tensorflow. but each time i am running the code "import keras" in spyder, the problem is showing that:

now, i dont know what is the problem mainly. because my tensorflow version shows that its 2.3.0.. i dont know what iis the problem. please, any one help.

I would say your first problem is that you're on Windows. Of the three main OS'es: Windows, Mac, and Linux, Windows is easily the worst for trying to install these Python libraries. You should be able to do it fairly well on a Mac, and even better on Linux. The very best would be (x)ubuntu 16.04, 18.04, or 20.04, because then you could use the Lambda Labs stack. If you installed Anaconda, why did you also install Python? Anaconda installs Python. How did you install keras and tensorflow? — Adrian Keister
@NicolasGervais If there is a problem importing TensorFlow, it does not matter if you import tf.keras or keras, you will get the same error anyway. Generic comments like that do not really help. — Dr. Snoopy
Can you follow the steps mentioned in this ans and see if the issue still persists. — Aniket Bote
I had similar problems. They went away when I down graded to python 3.7. Also I found the best way to install tensorflow is using conda not pip. Conda will install the Cuda Toolkit and the proper version of cuDNN. Pip does not install these — Gerry P

From comments

I had to create a environment in anaconda, named the environment as tensorflow, and created the environment based on python 3.6. In that environment, i imported tensorflow, keras separately and installed the spyder, jupyter notebook . after all these steps, it worked (paraphrased from kazi fahim lateef)

Steps to create virtual environment in anaconda

# Create environment
conda create --name TF

# When conda asks you to proceed, type y:
proceed ([y]/n)?

# Activate virtual environment
conda activate TF

# Install the TF Version 
conda install tensorflow

# Install the Keras Version 
conda install Keras

Note: From TF 2.0, onwards keras are integrated with TF. You can refer tf.keras module for more details.
