Tensorflow: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'constant'

Question

I have attempted to install Tensorflow on Ubuntu 18.04 by following this installation guide from the Tensorflow website. However, after importing tensorflow in python/jupyter notebook, none of the functionality appears to be working.

For example if I run:

#import tensorflow
import tensorflow as tf

#initialize two constants
x1 = tf.constant([1,2,3,4])
x2 = tf.constant([5,6,7,8])

I get the following error:

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'constant'

Does anyone know why this attribute is unavailable? on the tensorflow website it should be still be a fully functional command.

This is my first time attempting to run tensorflow so any help on the topic would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

You have to change your folder name to something else except tensorflow .

The reason is when you use import x python first searches for a folder named x and imports __init__.py file inside it. In your case you don't have that file with predefined constant in it and above that you want the tensorflow itself!

Answer 2

I had the same error. After I installed tensorflow-eigen the problem is solved.
