Which Tensorflow Package for Keras 2.3

Question

I am trying to use Keras on my machine but I keep getting the error message "AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.python.keras.backend' has no attribute 'get_graph'".

Stack Trace is:

AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.python.keras.backend' has no attribute 'get_graph'

I googled the issue and found this

https://forums.xilinx.com/t5/Deephi-DNNDK/Module-tensorflow-python-keras-backend-has-no-attribute-get/td-p/1022555

which tells me that it is tensorflow version related, but not which version to use. I am using Python3 on MacOS.

Thank you for your help.

I couldn't reproduce the error you observe with Keras 2.3.0 & tensorflow 2.0.0rc1. Although, I was able to start the training of acgan, I got a different error after one iteration: Resource localhost/_AnonymousVar84/N10tensorflow3VarE does not exist.

I could successfully run the example with the following versions:

1. Keras 2.2.4/tensorflow 1.14.0
2. tensorflow 2.0.0rc1 and replace keras with tensorflow.keras in the imports.
