Py-faster-rcnn: protobuf module has no attribute 'text_format'

[kepricon]

Hi all

Before i get into reporting my problem, I really appreciate sharing this valuable project.

When i train faster r-cnn using pascal dataset, i faced some error like below (end of this report).
I executed "./experiments/scripts/faster_rcnn_end2end.sh 0 VGG_CNN_M_1024 pascal_voc" at ROOT DIR of py-faster-rcnn.
It shows me like below.
File "/home/kepricon/git/py-faster-rcnn/tools/../lib/fast_rcnn/train.py", line 51, in init
pb2.text_format.Merge(f.read(), self.solver_param)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'text_format'

I tried to change the version of protobuf using pip. However it didn't work for me.

Is anybody have a idea for this?

please let me know.

Best Regards,
DH

[lemonsakura]

same problem,have you solved?

[lemonsakura]

solved by adding import google.protobuf.text_format

[bybabo92]

i have same problem as lemonsakura. as his method i have solved
adding "import google.protobuf.text_format" in the train.py

[zhengziqiang]

have you solved this problem?

[bybabo92]

我是中国的，直接说中文吧，解决方法和上面说的一样貌似是一个模块没有声明，直接加一句话在train.py开头就行

请问如何在Mac上配置运行py-faster-rcnn呀？有谁可以解答一下吗？拜托了！

[LJSthu]

I am eager to learn how to run the py-faster-rcnn on my Mac.Could anyone who knows it please help me?Thanks a lot!

hi,
where can i find the train.py?

[liu09114]

fast-rcnn/lib/fast_rcnn/train.py

[Derekabc]

Thanks , I have find it .

[Derekabc]

hi I am also a UESTC

[hackershi]

after I installed tensor flow, this bug emerges. solved it by adding import google.protobuf.text_format
