Running estimator from tensorflow today and came up with this error, any idea how to solve it?

File "C:\Users\ASUS Laptop\anaconda3\envs\tf_gpu\lib\site-packages\tensorflow_estimator\python\estimator\estimator.py", line 70, in <module>
    @doc_controls.inheritable_header("""\
AttributeError: module 'tensorflow.tools.docs.doc_controls' has no attribute 'inheritable_header'

This is in my estimator.py file: @doc_controls.inheritable_header("""
Warning: Estimators are not recommended for new code. Estimators run v1.Session-style code which is more difficult to write correctly, and can behave unexpectedly, especially when combined with TF 2 code. Estimators do fall under our compatibility guarantees, but will receive no fixes other than security vulnerabilities. See the migration guide for details. """)

Check your tensorflow-estimator version, it seems that version 2.7 from the 30 of October not compatible with some libraries.

try version 2.6:

pip install --upgrade tensorflow-estimator==2.6.0

EDIT:- Also downgrade keras to version 2.6.0:

pip install --upgrade keras==2.6.0

    This gave me an AlreadyExistsError: Another metric with the same name already exists.

    To be a little more specific here, tensorflow-estimator==2.7.0 uses a decorator from tensorflow that is not introduced until tensorflow==2.7.0. tensorflow==2.6.0 (and presumably all 2.6.x versions), unfortunately, only pins tensorflow-estimator~=2.6, which leaves tfe==2.7.0 to be pulled in. And tfe does not have tensorflow as an explicit dependency of its own, causing the breakdown of semantic versioning we see here.

  • Pranav's edit accounts for the aforementioned AlreadyExistsError.

  • By the way, tensorflow 2.6.2 is released which correctly sets upper limit on tensorflow-estimator version, which fixes these problems.

Either upgrade or downgrade tensorflow-estimator package to match tensorflow version.
