ImportError: cannot import name 'trace' from 'tensorflow.python.profiler'

Question

I'm trying to run an object detection training on Tensorflow

Everything is working fine until I start training the network, here.

python C:\RealTimeObjectDetection-main\Tensorflow/models/research/object_detection/model_main_tf2.py --model_dir=C:\RealTimeObjectDetection-main\Tensorflow\workspace/models/my_ssd_mobnet --pipeline_config_path=C:\RealTimeObjectDetection-main\Tensorflow\workspace/models/my_ssd_mobnet/pipeline.config --num_train_steps=200000

It produces the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Software I am using: Windows 10 - amd64, Python 3.7.0, TensorFlow 1.15.5

Answer 1

You can import this using latest Tensorflow version 2.6.

from tensorflow.python.profiler import trace
