Resolve TensorFlow TypeError: __init __ () got an unexpected keyword argument'syntax' on Mac

Google's TensorFlow seems to be amazing, so when I tried to use it, I got an error and stumbled, so I will write down the solution for people with similar circumstances.

Installation

$ pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl

error

>>> import tensorflow as tf

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'syntax'

Solution

pip uninstall protobuf
pip uninstall tensorflow
brew uninstall protobuf
pip install https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.5.0-py2-none-any.whl

It seems OK if the version of protobuf is 3.0.0a4.

import google.protobuf
>>> print google.protobuf.__version__
3.0.0a4
