I've been using colab for deep learning for a over a month and all of a sudden import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs stopped working. Is anyone encountering the same issues???

I'm running tf.version 2.8.2

> !pip install git https://github.com/tensorflow/docs
> 
> import tensorflow_docs as tfdocs   
> import tensorflow_docs.modeling   
> import tensorflow_docs.plots

Error:

I have this problem too, but sadly I don't have a solution. However, this is what I've tried so far:

• Downgrading to Tensorflow 2.6
• Installing a previous version of tensorflow_docs with !pip install git https://github.com/tensorflow/docs@my_version choosing as my_version a commit from a few weeks ago.
• Installing tensorflow_docs in a different way, first downloading it with !git clone https://github.com/tensorflow/docs and then installing it via !pip install docs/

All without success.

Anyway from the error it seems it is a problem of the tensorflow_docs'ReferenceResolver, it looks like it is not able to find the library. However with the following instruction tensorflow-docs is found:

!pip3 freeze | grep tensorflow
