NeuroNER ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tensorflow.python.training.checkpointable'

I ran:

# Create python virtual environment
virtualenv -p python3.6 /mnt/ilcompn0d1/user/dernonco/pyenv/neuroner
source /mnt/ilcompn0d1/user/dernonco/pyenv/neuroner/bin/activate

# Install neuroner
pip3 install pyneuroner[gpu]

# Get word embeddings
wget -P data/word_vectors http://neuroner.com/data/word_vectors/glove.6B.100d.zip
unzip data/word_vectors/glove.6B.100d.zip -d data/word_vectors/

# Test neuroner 
neuroner --fetch_data=conll2003

The last command gives the error:


(neuroner) dernonco@ilcompn0:/mnt/ilcompn0d1/user/dernonco/sensei/neuroner/gpu$ neuroner --fetch_data=conll2003

The fix is to change the version of tensorflow-gpu from 2.x to 1.13.1, which can be done as follows:

pip uninstall tensorflow-gpu
pip install tensorflow-gpu==1.13.1

But we should fix the installation code to avoid having the issue in the first place.

@Franck-Dernoncourt my tensorflow-gpu is already 1.13.1. and it is still not working

Dec 01 '19 11:12 nkshelby

if the tensorflow-gpu version==1.13.1 also the same issue arising
