AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'placeholder'

[RayVanRaamsdonk]

Hello,
I am relatively new but I did search everywhere for a solution to my problem but can't find any answers
anywhere. I run Windows 10 with Anaconda3 and Python 3 and Tensor flow as a backend to Keras. The
first program I tried worked very well but just today non of my Keras programs work. I get the same
error message for all of my programs: AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'placeholder'
I don't even know how to get started to fix this kind of error? If anyone could help, it would be a
lifesaver for a science project for my son.

This happened once to me too, but a long time ago. I suggest you uninstall keras and tensorflow, update all packages in anaconda and then reinstall tensorflow and keras. As much as remember, it worked for me at that time.
Let us know if it works.

Thank you very much Sai Raj, I will do that.

It could also be a problem when you call your script or folder 'tensorflow' or 'keras'. It imports your script instead of a real keras.
