@dreamitpossible1

contrib module is no longer available in TensorFlow 2.0, but you can use with this;
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

or uninstall TensorFlow and install oldest version with this;
pip install tensorflow==1.14

Detailed information; https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/migrate

Tensorflow Core released a utility to convert your TF 1.x scripts to TF2.0 which can be found here:
https://www.tensorflow.org/guide/upgrade

Thanks!

@ravikyram import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()
I used this code but I am facing same error
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat'

[richarnaik]

Same issue as NitinSaini18. I get the same error in spite of using :
import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

[Kuehlhausvogel]

I got the same problem as @NitinSaini18 and @richarnaik
Were you able to solve it?

[Gaurav37]

Same issue still even after import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
tf.disable_v2_behavior()

[Kuehlhausvogel]

@Gaurav37 What I did at the end was switching from Python 3.8 to Python3.7 (since Tensorflow 1.x is not working with Python 3.8) and the use Tensorflow 1.x (in my case 1.14.0) instead of 2.x

[Sowmik23]

@richarnaik @Kuehlhausvogel I have the same problem. I can solved using it.
