[FIXED] TensorFlow, "'module' object has no attribute 'placeholder'"

Issue

I've been trying to use tensorflow for two days now installing and reinstalling it over and over again in python2.7 and 3.4. No matter what I do, I get this error message when trying to use tensorflow.placeholder()

It's very boilerplate code:

tf_in = tf.placeholder("float", [None, A]) # Features

No matter what I do I always get the trace back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/willim/PycharmProjects/tensorflow/tensorflow.py", line 2, in <module>
    import tensorflow as tf
  File "/home/willim/PycharmProjects/tensorflow/tensorflow.py", line 53, in <module>
    tf_in = tf.placeholder("float", [None, A]) # Features
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'placeholder'

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Solution

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:

1. I removed tensorflow-gpu, tensorflow, tensorflow-base packages from Anaconda. Using.

conda remove tensorflow-gpu tensorflow tensorflow-base

2. re-installed tensorflow. Using

conda install tensorflow
