Python TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'serialized_options'

Question

I have a problem here which annoyed me for several days:(

I am new to python and tensorflow.

When I was practicing tensorflow and tried to use tensorboard, I met this question.

I wrote python in PyCharm and also my python version is 3.6.

part of my code is:

init = tf.global_variables_initializer()
sess = tf.Session()
writer = tf.summary.FileWriter("logs/",sess.graph) 
sess.run(init)

then, I go to terminal and write the command:

cd /Users/Claire/Library/Preferences/PyCharmCE2018.2/scratches

then, I see a directory called "logs" which has "events.out.tfevents.1533570728.H-MacBook-Air.local" in it.

So, i write a command under

/Users/Claire/Library/Preferences/PyCharmCE2018.2/scratches

tensorboard --logdir='logs/'

then, I got this error:

Can anyone help me?? Thank you.

Answer 1

please uninstalle protobuf and Tensorflow, then reinstalle Tensorflow but with latest version. Apparently the version of protobuf also.

To upodate the version :

pip install -U protobuf
