在Mac中安装Tensorflow时出错

Question

I am trying to install Tenosrflow in mac using the instructions from

https://www.tensorflow.org/install/

But I get a syntax error all the time when I want to import tensorflow.

I tried uninstalling protobuf and reinstalling tensorflow, but again I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/init.py", line 22, in from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow # pylint: disable=unused-import File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/init.py", line 49, in from tensorflow.python import pywrap_tensorflow File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 58, in from tensorflow.python.pywrap_tensorflow_internal import * File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py", line 114 def TFE_ContextOptionsSetAsync(arg1, async):

^ SyntaxError: invalid syntax`

Do you know what is the solution for this error?

Thanks in advance

This seems to be an issue with python version 3.7 as you can also see in this github issue . Apparently the cause is that async is a keyword in 3.7. Good news is that there also seems to be a solution:

As mentioned in the github issue: Renaming async to eg async1 in /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow/python/pywrap_tensorflow_internal.py gets rid of the issue

Note: There are multiple links inside of the github issue, also references to commits fixing 3.7. incompatabilities, so cloning the github and installing from source might also be an option
