One Frustrating Error

Question

i keep getting this error with tensorflow. ive installed older versions of python and tensorflow

python - 3.6.6, 3.7

tensorflow - 2.0.0, 2.20rc1

ImportError: DLL load failed: The specified module could not be found.

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow import keras
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

data = keras.datasets.fashion_mnist

(train_images, train_labels), (test_images, test_labels) = data.load_data

print(train_labels[0])

Answer 1

maybe a virtual environment
venv should be used

Answer 2

make sure you have the latest update of python and tensorflow before using them maybe? i would try removing the module and reinstalling it.
if you’re having trouble still, you could try using google colab. i use it often to test tensorflow stuff and it works great!

Answer 3

it worked in google colab but i did install the latest version of both and that didnt fix it

Answer 4

i just needed to installed a 64 bit version of python 3.7 (which i already had) and the latest version of tensorflow and that got rid of the error
