Avoid using the below striked out statement in tensorflow 2 0  i m p o r t   t e n s o r f l o w   a s   t f   x       t f   p l a c e h o l d e r   s h a p e     N o n e     2       d t y p e   t f   f l o a t 3 2     You can disable the v2 behavior by using the following code   This one is perfectly working for me   import tensorflow compat v1 as tf  tf disable v2 behavior   x   tf placeholder shape  None  2   dtype tf float32

It happened to me too  I had tensorflow and it was working pretty well  but when I install tensorflow-gpu along side the previous tensorflow this error arose then I did these 3 steps and it started working with no problem    I removed tensorflow-gpu  tensorflow  tensorflow-base packages from Anaconda  Using     conda remove tensorflow-gpu tensorflow tensorflow-base   re-installed tensorflow  Using    conda install tensorflow

It appears that  placeholder      reset default graph     and others were removed with version 2   I ran into this issue using Docker image  tensorflow tensorflow latest-gpu-py3 which automatically pulls the latest version   I was working in 1 13 1 and was  upgraded to 2  automatically and started getting the error messages   I fixed this by being more specific with my image  tensorflow tensorflow 1 13 1-gpu-py3   More info can be found here   https   www tensorflow org alpha guide effective tf2

If you are using TensorFlow 2 0  then some code developed for tf 1 x may not code work  Either you can follow the link   https   www tensorflow org guide migrate or you can install a previous version of tf by pip3 install tensorflow  version

I also got the same error  May be because of the version of tensorflow   After installing tensorflow 1 4 0  I got relief from the error   pip install tensorflow  1 4 0

Solution  Do not use  tensorflow  as your filename   Notice that you use tensorflow py as your filename  And I guess you write code like   import tensorflow as tf   Then you are actually importing the script file  tensorflow py  that is under your current working directory  rather than the  real  tensorflow module from Google   Here is the order in which a module will be searched when importing         The directory containing the input script  or the current directory when no file is specified      PYTHONPATH  a list of directory names    with the same syntax as the shell variable PATH      The installation-dependent default

Import the old version of tensorflow instead of the new version   https   inneka com ml tf tensorflow-module-object-has-no-attribute-placeholder   1   import tensorflow compat v1 as tf tf disable v2 behavior

Instead of tf placeholder shape  None  2   dtype tf float32  use something like tf compat v1 placeholder shape  None  2   dtype tf float32  if you don t want to disable v2 completely

The problem is with TensorFlow version  the one you are running is 2 0 or something above 1 5  while placeholder can only work with 1 4   So simply uninstall TensorFlow  then install it again with version 1 4 and everything will work

Because you cant use placeholder in tensflow2 0version  so you need to use tensflow1   or you need to change your code to fix tensflow2 0

The error shows up because we are using tensorflow version 2 and the command is from version 1  So if we use  tf compat v1 summary  method name   It ll work

It may be the typo if you incorrectly wrote the placeholder word  In my case I misspelled it as placehoder and got the error like this  AttributeError   module  object has no attribute  placehoder

If you get this on tensorflow 2 0 0   it s very likely because the code isn t compatible with the newer version of tensorflow   To fix this  run the tf upgrade v2 script   tf upgrade v2 --infile YOUR SCRIPT py --outfile YOUR SCRIPT py

Recent version 2 0 does not support placeholder   I uninstalled 2 0 using command  conda remove tensorflow  then I installed 1 15 0 using command  conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow 1 15 0  1 15 is latest in version 1 series  You can change as per you wish and requirement  For seeing all version  use command  conda search tensorflow  It worked for Anaconda3 in Windows

Try this  pip install tensorflow  1 14  or this  if you have GPU   pip install tensorflow-gpu  1 14

If you have this error after an upgrade to TensorFlow 2 0  you can still use 1 X API by replacing   import tensorflow as tf   by  import tensorflow compat v1 as tf tf disable v2 behavior
