AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'device'

Question

In following the Pytorch tutorial at https://pytorch.org/tutorials/beginner/deep_learning_60min_blitz.html

I received the following error:

(pt_gpu) [martin@A08-R32-I196-3-FZ2LTP2 mlm]$ python pytorch-1.py 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pytorch-1.py", line 39, in <module>
    device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'device'

In my code below, I added this statement:

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
    net.to(device)

But this seems not right or enough. This is the first time for me to run Pytorch with GPU on a linux machine. What else should I do to get right running?

class Net(nn.Module):
    def __init__(self):
        super(Net, self).__init__()
        self.conv1 = nn.Conv2d(3, 6, 5)
        self.pool = nn.MaxPool2d(2, 2)
        self.conv2 = nn.Conv2d(6, 16, 5)

        self.fc1 = nn.Linear(16 * 5 * 5, 120)
        self.fc2 = nn.Linear(120, 84)
        self.fc3 = nn.Linear(84, 10)

    def forward(self, x):
        x = self.pool(F.relu(self.conv1(x)))
        x = self.pool(F.relu(self.conv2(x)))
        x = x.view(-1, 16 * 5 * 5)
        x = F.relu(self.fc1(x))
        x = F.relu(self.fc2(x))
        x = self.fc3(x)

        return x


net = Net()

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

            print('[%d, %5d] loss %.3f' % (epoch + 1, i + 1, running_loss / 2000))

print('Finished traning!')


def imshow(img):
    img = img / 2 + 0.5
    npimg = img.numpy()
    plt.imshow(numpy.transpose(npimg, (1, 2, 0)))
    plt.show()


dataIter = iter(trainLoader)
images, labels = dataIter.next()
# imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(images))

dataIter = iter(testLoader)
images, labels = dataIter.next()
# imshow(torchvision.utils.make_grid(images))

correct = 0
total = 0

with torch.no_grad():
    for data in testLoader:
        images, labels = data
        outputs = net(images)
        _, predicted = torch.max(outputs.data, 1)
        total += labels.size(0)

        correct += (predicted == labels).sum().item()

print("accuracy: %d %%", 100 * correct / total)

EDIT:

My conda version is the latest:

(pt_gpu) [martin@A08-R32-I196-3-FZ2LTP2 mlm]$ conda -V
conda 4.6.2

Then I installed pytorch-gpu with:

(pt_gpu) [martin@A08-R32-I196-3-FZ2LTP2 mlm]$ conda install -c anaconda pytorch-gpu

As you can see, the version 0.1.12 is installed:

0.1.12

Why does it install such a low version?

Answer 1

Although this question is very old, I would recommend those who are facing this problem to visit pytorch.org and check the command to install pytorch from there, there is a section dedicated to this: or in your case: As you can see, the command you used to install pytorch is different from the one here. I have not tested it on Linux, but I used the command for Windows and it worked great for me on Anaconda. (Initially, I also got the same error, that was before following this)
