ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keras.api' error-CodePudding

I am trying to run a ".py" file on windows 10 with tensorflow version 2.8.0 and keras version 2.3.4, where I am calling libraries as follows

from tensorflow import keras 
from keras.models import load_model

However, I am getting an error message "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'keras.api'" as shown in the error log below.

I am wondering if you can help in this regard.

CodePudding user response：

I am not sure how keras 2.3.4 is installed but minimum version of keras for tf 2.8 is 2.8; Just upgrade your keras version

pip install keras==2.8

CodePudding user response：

Since version 2 of Tensorflow (TF), the Keras package comes installed alongside. Meaning that if you make pip install tensorflow, will install the latest TF version (2.8) and Keras 2.8. As the other answer suggests, I would guess you have some old Keras version installed on your computer.

My advise would be to create a fresh virtual environment,

python3 -m venv ENV_DIR

and then freshly install all the requirements that your .py file needs from scratch. This will hopefully solve your issue and it is also best practice not to mess with different Python packages versions throughout your projects.
