No module named 'tensorflow.python.platform'

Question

I am using python3 and have installed tensorflow-gpu using:

pip3 install tensorflow-gpu==1.13.1

And have checked that it is installed by:

pip3 show tensorflow-gpu
Name: tensorflow-gpu
Version: 1.13.1
Summary: TensorFlow is an open source machine learning framework for 
everyone.
Home-page: https://www.tensorflow.org/

Location: /usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages
Requires: tensorflow-estimator, keras-applications, termcolor, absl-py, six, 
astor, protobuf, wheel, keras-preprocessing, gast, grpcio, numpy, 
tensorboard
Required-by:

but when I do the following it gives me an error:

user:/home/mydirectory # python3
Python 3.6.5 (default, Mar 31 2018, 19:45:04) [GCC] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from tensorflow.python.platform import self_check
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.platform'

I see from the error that its looking for tensorflow in directory

/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorflow

But pip indicates that its installed at

/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages

How can I fix this issue?

Answer 2

See https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/374

Are you opening the terminal from within the tensorflow directory?

"Actually I had this issue because I was trying to import tensorflow from a python session inside the tensorflow repo folder, going to some other folder and starting python and importing tensorflow worked for me."
