Question

i have installed "Anaconda3-2020.07-Windows-x86_64" and python "python-3.8.0". after that, i have installed keras and then tensorflow. but each time i am running the code " import keras " in spyder, the problem is showing that:

From comments

I had to create a environment in anaconda, named the environment as tensorflow, and created the environment based on python 3.6. In that environment, i imported tensorflow, keras separately and installed the spyder, jupyter notebook. after all these steps, it worked (paraphrased from kazi fahim lateef)

Steps to create virtual environment in anaconda

# Create environment
conda create --name TF

# When conda asks you to proceed, type y:
proceed ([y]/n)?

# Activate virtual environment
conda activate TF

# Install the TF Version 
conda install tensorflow

# Install the Keras Version 
conda install Keras

Note: From TF 2.0, onwards keras are integrated with TF. You can refer tf.keras module for more details.
