Answer 1

It's not called that in TensorFlow 2. You might be using a TensorFlow 1 tutorial.

Version 1 tf.gfile.GFile https://www.tensorflow.org/versions/r1.15/api_docs/python/tf/io/gfile/GFile

Version 2 tf.io.gfile.GFile https://www.tensorflow.org/api_docs/python/tf/io/gfile/GFile

Answer 2

If you have Tensorflow version 2. You can use the next module compatible with the version 1, too.

import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
