Tensorflow 2.0 - AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'Session'

Question

When I am executing the command sess = tf.Session() in Tensorflow 2.0 environment, I am getting an error message as below:

Traceback (most recent         


        

Answer 1

Tensorflow 2.x support's Eager Execution by default hence Session is not supported.

Answer 2

Using Anaconda + Spyder (Python 3.7)

[code]

import tensorflow as tf
valor1 = tf.constant(2)
valor2 = tf.constant(3)
type(valor1)
print(valor1)
soma=valor1+valor2
type(soma)
print(soma)
sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()
with sess:
    print(sess.run(soma))

[console]

import tensorflow as tf
valor1 = tf.constant(2)
valor2 = tf.constant(3)
type(valor1)
print(valor1)
soma=valor1+valor2
type(soma)
Tensor("Const_8:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)
Out[18]: tensorflow.python.framework.ops.Tensor

print(soma)
Tensor("add_4:0", shape=(), dtype=int32)

sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()

with sess:
    print(sess.run(soma))

Answer 3

import tensorflow as tf
sess = tf.Session()

this code will show an Attribute error on version 2.x

to use version 1.x code in version 2.x

try this

import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
sess = tf.Session()

Answer 4

If this is your code, the correct solution is to rewrite it to not use Session(), since that's no longer necessary in TensorFlow 2

If this is just code you're running, you can downgrade to TensorFlow 1 by running

pip3 install --upgrade --force-reinstall tensorflow-gpu==1.15.0 

(or whatever the latest version of TensorFlow 1 is)
