When importing from keras in Jupyter, getting error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'message_types_by_name'

Question

I am trying to do several imports from the keras library. I am doing this on a Jupyter notebook using an Anaconda installed Python. I have used keras before fine, and I just checked for updates but found none. Here are the import statements.

from keras.preprocessing.text import Tokenizer
from keras.utils import to_categorical
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense
from keras.layers import SimpleRNN
from keras.layers import Embedding

I get a warning when I run this that says 'Using TensorFlow backend. Then I get a long error output that ends with 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'message_types_by_name'. Any ideas on what is wrong?

Answer 1

Since Tensorflow supports Keras as High level API, suggested way to import Keras libraries/modules is as below.

import tensorflow as tf
from tf.keras.preprocessing.text import Tokenizer
from tf.keras.utils import to_categorical
from tf.keras.models import Sequential
from tf.keras.layers import Dense
from tf.keras.layers import SimpleRNN
from tf.keras.layers import Embedding

Check the document from Keras here for reference.
