Do I need to install keras 2.0 seprately after installing tensorflow 1.3?

Question

I just upgraded my tf from 1.0 to tf 1.3 (pip install --upgrade tensorflow) . I know keras 2.0 became part of tensorflow since tf version 1.2. However, when I import keras and check its version it still shows 1.2. Am I supposed to upgrade keras also? if so, then what does "the Keras API will now become available directly as part of TensorFlow, starting with TensorFlow 1.2" mean?

Answer 1

Nope, you don't need to install keras 2.0 separately. (See: https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/keras)

Do this:

import tensorflow as tf

model = tf.keras.Sequential()

Don't do this (Unless you really need framework independent code):

import keras

model = keras.Sequential()
