ImportError: cannot import name 'SummaryWriter'

[acgtyrant]

I do not use anaconda, I install tensorboard-pytorch and tensorflow py pip in the virtual enviroment.

I tried, from tensorboard import SummaryWriter, it complains as the title. However, I find the SummaryWriter is in the writer.py in tensorboard, so I have to use from tensorboard.writer import SummaryWriter. Where am I wrong?

I think it's the same case as mentioned in #17, and
pip install tensorboardX should solve the problem.

[acgtyrant]

You are right.

from tensorboard import summary as summary_lib
from tensorboard.plugins.custom_scalar import layout_pb2

When I was running the following command, an error occurred. I'm sorry to bother you, but please help me anyway

@YangSN0719 It should be from tensorboardX, not tensorboard.

i installed using conda tensorboardx 2.4

[lanpa]

@iszff @soans1994 Please update to python3 for the newer tensorboardX. I should have release the package with a correct metadata. sorry.

[muthena]

I installed using conda, and run with pytorch, but the wrong below still, how can solve the problem?

If this call came from a _pb2.py file, your generated code is out of date and must be regenerated with protoc >= 3.19.0.
If you cannot immediately regenerate your protos, some other possible workarounds are:

1. Downgrade the protobuf package to 3.20.x or lower.
2. Set PROTOCOL_BUFFERS_PYTHON_IMPLEMENTATION=python (but this will use pure-Python parsing and will be much slower).

Downgrade protobuf: If upgrading protobuf doesn't solve the issue, you can try downgrading it to a version <= 3.20.x. You can install a specific version like this:
pip install protobuf==3.20
