Why tensorflow.keras and tensorflow.python.keras does not work?

Question

When I import the module it says that there is an invalid sintax.

from tensorflow import keras

from tensorflow.keras.models import Sequential

from tensorflow.python.keras.layers import Dense, Activation, Dropout
from tensorflow.python.keras.optimizers import SGD

For all of this imports I got the same error: invalid sintax. I upgraded my pycharm till the latest version, and the interpreter is Python 3.8.

The traceback:

SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Answer 1

Your pycharm is not at fault for an invalid syntax.

The reason why you are getting an error is because of the tensorflow.python.keras.layers the right way to write it is tensorflow.keras.layers see documentation here https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/keras/layers
