The code is giving the following error message

• Cannot import name 'wrappers' from 'tensorflow.python.keras.layers' - and ImportError: graphviz or pydot are not available.

Even after installing the graphviz and pydot using the !apt-get -qq install -y graphviz && pip install pydot still not able to genrate model.png.

CodePudding user response：

Seems to be some import conflicts. Rather use tf.keras for everything:

try:
  # %tensorflow_version only exists in Colab.
  %tensorflow_version 2.x

  pass

                                            tf.keras.layers.Dense(10, activation=tf.nn.softmax)])
