When I import keras, the error above pops up even though it was working fine yesterday.

How do I resolve this error?

I am working on windows 10 my keras version is: 2.2.4 my tensorflow version is: 2.2.0rc2

complete error traceback is seen below as such:

Keras 2.2.4 does not support TF 2.0, you need to use Keras 2.3 for that to work. — Dr. Snoopy

change from keras import models to from tensorflow.keras import models
this solved the problem for me with tensorflow 2.5.0

worked for me! I faced the error as I was trying to load CIFAR10 from keras datasets.

I had the same problem, and I have successfully solved this issue with downgrading tensorflow version to 2.1.0.

pip install tensorflow==2.1.0

Sorry just saw this but thank you! I resolved it by just reinstalling all the libraries again.

user13752012 Over a year ago

When I use this I get this error:

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement tensorflow==2.4.1 (from versions: 2.5.0rc0, 2.5.0rc1)                     ERROR: No matching distribution found for tensorflow==2.4.1

Could I have any help?

Nicoolasens Over a year ago

@manarinian use the most recent version : this one 2.5.0rc0 or this on 2.5.0rc1 version pypi.org/project/tensorflow-cpu/#history

Ouss Over a year ago

downgrading is not a good solution on the long term. thee solution to import tensorflow.keras.xxxx instead of import kreas.xxxx is better!

Changed from keras.utils import _____

to from tensorflow.python.keras.utils import _____

This worked for me while using TensorFlow 2.5.0

I encountered the same problem using Python 3.9 and Tensorflow 2.5. The problem for me was that those two are not yet compatible, and as such, the solution is to install python 3.8 instead, and possibly also downgrade Tensorflow 2.5 to Tensorflow 2.4.

Please copy "populate_dict_with_module_objects" function from this link (line 1162 to 1167) and add it to "generic_utils.py"

Perhaps isn't a long-time reproducible solution!

Exactly! The linked file is not even linked to a commit, and line 827 is a docstring (""") right now.

Dulakshi Soysa · Accepted Answer · 2021-06-19 15:11:35Z

I've gotten around this by uninstalling Keras and changing anything I import from Keras to instead import from tensorflow.keras

So this:

    from keras.preprocessing.image import load_img
    from keras.preprocessing.image import img_to_array
    from keras.applications.vgg16 import preprocess_input
    from keras.applications.vgg16 import decode_predictions
    from keras.applications.vgg16 import VGG16

became this:

    from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import load_img
    from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import img_to_array
    from tensorflow.keras.applications.vgg16 import preprocess_input
    from tensorflow.keras.applications.vgg16 import decode_predictions
    from tensorflow.keras.applications.vgg16 import VGG16

and then I didn't have to amend the rest of my work

%env SM_FRAMEWORK=tf.keras

Try this code before importing segmentation models, it solved my problem.

Or always use tf.keras in your code. Don't use keras directly!

Replaced everything of keras to tf.keras !
Using Libs:

tensorflow-cpu==2.4.0
keras==2.4.0

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras

Change layers as :

keras.layers.Conv2D(512, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same')(pool4)
tf.keras.layers.Conv2D(512, (3, 3), activation='relu', padding='same')(pool4)

Change Optimizer:

keras.optimizers.Adam(lr=1e-5)
tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(lr=1e-5)

Change Operations:

keras.concatenate
tf.concat
keras.flatten
tf.keras.flatten
keras.sum
tf.keras.sum

Hope it helps someone stuck up there!

Had this issue with tensorflow-gpu==2.5.0

I think the problem is caused some interaction between this two files (virtual env):

$ find env -name generic_utils.py
env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/tensorflow/python/keras/utils/generic_utils.py
env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/keras/utils/generic_utils.py

I added this import to env/lib/python3.9/site-packages/keras/utils/generic_utils.py:

from tensorflow.python.keras.utils.generic_utils import populate_dict_with_module_objects, to_snake_case

it seems worked.

If using Google Colab, run this at the start of the notebook to avoid conflict with the default version provided by Colab. Also please note if tensorflow is already installed, it will restart the runtime. So, its better to do this at the start of the notebook rather than in the middle.

!pip install tensorflow==2.1.0

I installed Tensorflow and Keras using pip install tensorflow pip install keras and I got the same error in tensorflow 2.5.0. I uninstalled both and reinstalled with conda install tensorflow conda install keras

This resolved my error.

I upgraded keras and it worked. I used this command:

> pip install --upgrade keras

You might need to restart the kernel to see the effect.

Rather than downgrading or any other solution, directly import from tensorflow.keras

for eg: rather than using: from keras.models import Sequential use: from tensorflow.keras.model import Sequential
