Spleeter: [Bug] Spleeter fails to import tensorflow due to a missing TF attribute 'compat'

[bscout9956]

Description

After installing Spleeter with Conda on Windows 10, I cannot make it execute as it fails to import tensorflow.

Step to reproduce

1. Installed using conda install -c conda-forge spleeter
2. Run as spleeter separate -i "path\file.flac" -p spleeter:2stems-16kHz -o y:\audio_output
3. Got AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat error

Obs: This can be reproduced by running python and typing import tensorflow as well.

Output

Additional context

Does not happen if I install through pip.

Similar as above... Perhaps tensorflow needs to be updated or something?

Same problem. As a workaround, I installed the previous version of Spleeter "conda install -c conda-forge/label/cf202003 spleeter" and then I succesfully installed the last release "conda install -c conda-forge spleeter"

Related to #429 - it seems to be a package dependency issue in the release.
The workaround in the other ticket was to install v1.4.9 which has confirmed to work.
conda install -c conda-forge spleeter=1.4.9

Installing this version is causing the following error for me when I try to launch Spleeter:
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"d:\bld\spleeter_1577456344482_h_envpython.exe" "C:\Code\Miniconda3\Scripts\spleeter.exe" '

Spleeter 1.5.3 ran OK but got the "compat" error mentioned above.

Ok, I reproduced the issue:
for some reasons, conda installs tensorflow-estimator v2.2.0 together with tensorflow v1.15.0 and they seem to be incompatible versions. We'll probably fix it by adding an explicit dependency on tensorflow-estimator v1.15.1 in the conda recipe.
In the meantime, you can fix the installation by installing tensorflow-estimator v1.15.1 with conda after the installation of spleeter:
First install spleeter:

conda install -c conda-forge spleeter

Here you should get the "compat" error.
Then downgrade tensorflow-estimator to 1.15.1:

conda install tensorflow-estimator=1.15.1

The "compat" error should then have disappeared.

I updated the conda package adding the explicit dependency.
The installation of spleeter with conda should be back to normal:

conda install -c conda-forge spleeter
