cannot import name FileWriter

File "/home/txl/TF-Projects/GAN/StackGAN-v2-master/code/trainer.py", line 20, in
from tensorboard import FileWriter
ImportError: cannot import name FileWriter

I found that tensorboard has no model named FileWriter.
anyone can tell me how to resolve this problem ?

[hoseong-kim]

I have solved this problem.
My solution is as follows:
sudo -H pip install tensorboardX
from tensorboardX import FileWriter

@hoseong-kim
thanks very much
i will try it

@hoseong-kim
I found another solution：
#5

The dependency while setting up StackGan++ is tensorboard-pytorch and not tensorboard.

[hoseong-kim]

@happytaoxiaoli
Oh! That might be a more fundamental solution.

You can install tensorboard-pytorch using the command from here :
pip install tensorboard-pytorch

[dmalinow]

If you install tensorboard-pytorch, do you have to modify the code? or do you need to change the path to reflect the dependency?

[Tristan-YF]

I think this is mainly because of the version mismatch. I'v met the same problem before, and I solved it by changing a lower version of tensorboard .

@tristangao Which version you used please?

[johnny5550822]

Use tensorboard-pytorch (pip install tensorboard-pytorch). Do this:

from torch.utils.tensorboard import summary
from torch.utils.tensorboard import FileWriter

instead of:

from tensorboard import summary
from tensorboard import FileWriter

One can avoid importing FileWriter from tensorboard
and simply use tf.compat.v1.summary.FileWriter()
Example:

Launch the graph in a session.

sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()

Create a summary writer, add the 'graph' to the event file.

writer = tf.compat.v1.summary.FileWriter(<some-directory>, sess.graph)
