unable to import module from site-package

Question

i am importing a module from sitepackages but showing error. i am successfully able to import a file eg.

from tensorflow.contrib.rnn.python.ops import rnn_cell

but when i am going to import a module from rnn_cell by

from tensorflow.contrib.rnn.python.ops.rnn_cell import _norm

i am getting error

ImportError: cannot import name _norm

PS the module _norm() is present there in rnn_cell file.

Answer 1

I'm not sure this method call has meaning, but anyway, first instantiate the LayerNormBasicLSTMCell class, then call its (internal) method _norm .

from tensorflow.contrib.rnn.python.ops.rnn_cell import LayerNormBasicLSTMCell

_norm = LayerNormBasicLSTMCell(10)._norm
print(_norm)

Again, this method is for internal use, and is not for outside use. So, I don't think this _norm shortcut has meaning.
