Why can I not import Tensorflow.contrib I get an error of No module named 'tensorflow.python.saved

Question

Hi I just installed Tensorflow on my Mac and I want to use tf.contrib.slim but when I use it I get this

import tensorflow as tf

slim = tf.contrib.slim

Error:

File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/tensorflow_estimator/python/estimator/export/export_lib.py", line 25, in from tensorflow.python.saved_model.model_utils import build_all_signature_defs ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.saved_model.model_utils'

I don't know what to do, please help me

I use Tensorflow.13.1 and python 3.7

Answer 1

For anyone who is trying some old codes from github with Tensorflow 1.x.x versions while having Tensorflow 2.0.x please note that tf.contrib no longer exist in Tensorflow 2.0.x and it's modules were moved.
Please google the name of the module without the tf.contrib part to know it's new location and thus migrating your code accordingly by correcting the import statement.

Hope this helped!
