Tensorflow cannot be imported

Problem: Tensorflow cannot be imported

When I installed Tensorflow 2.3.0 (latest version at the time of writing the article) and tried to import it, I got a lot of error messages about the missing modules, so I went through each of the missing modules listed in the error message. Import with one pip, downgrade ...

However, after I finally got the following error, I couldn't proceed.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\python\pywrap_tensorflow.py", line 64, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python._pywrap_tensorflow_internal import *
ImportError: DLL load failed:The specified module cannot be found.

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calculation1.py", line 9, in <module>
    import tensorflow as tf
  File "C:\ProgramData\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\tensorflow\__init__.py", line 41, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python.tools import module_util as _module_util

It seems that there is no module called _pywrap_tensorflow_internal ... I couldn't help it, so I tried various things.

Execution environment

・ Windows 10 ・ Anaconda 3.7.6

Solution

After all, I reinstalled Anaconda and reinstalled __tensorflow == 2.0.0 __ and it worked. After that, when I upgraded to tensorflow == 2.3.0, I got the same error as above again.

pip install tensorflow==2.0.0
