Tensorflow import error: No module named 'tensorflow'

deleting tensorflow from cDrive/users/envs/tensorflow and after that

conda create -n tensorflow python=3.6
 activate tensorflow
 pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

now its working for newer versions of python thank you

The reason Python 3.5 environment is unable to import Tensorflow is that Anaconda does not store the tensorflow package in the same environment.

One solution is to create a new separate environment in Anaconda dedicated to TensorFlow with its own Spyder

conda create -n newenvt anaconda python=3.5
activate newenvt

and then install tensorflow into newenvt

I found this primer helpful

The reason why Python base environment is unable to import Tensorflow is that Anaconda does not store the tensorflow package in the base environment.

create a new separate environment in Anaconda dedicated to TensorFlow as follows:

conda create -n newenvt anaconda python=python_version

replace python_version by your python version

activate the new environment as follows:

activate newenvt

Then install tensorflow into the new environment (newenvt) as follows:

conda install tensorflow

Now you can check it by issuing the following python code and it will work fine.

import tensorflow

In Windows 64, if you did this sequence correctly:

Anaconda prompt:

conda create -n tensorflow python=3.5
activate tensorflow
pip install --ignore-installed --upgrade tensorflow

Be sure you still are in tensorflow environment. The best way to make Spyder recognize your tensorflow environment is to do this:

conda install spyder

This will install a new instance of Spyder inside Tensorflow environment. Then you must install scipy, matplotlib, pandas, sklearn and other libraries. Also works for OpenCV.

Always prefer to install these libraries with "conda install" instead of "pip".
