Cannot import SummaryWriter

[mlagunas]

When I try to do:

from tensorboard import SummaryWriter I get an error saying ImportError: cannot import name 'SummaryWriter'
After looking inside conda packages I found out that in the folder ~/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tensorboard/ there is no SummaryWriter, instead, I found it in the folder [...]/tensorboardX. Thus, I changed to from tensorboardX import SummaryWriter getting a new error when logging a scalar value that says TypeError: Parameter to MergeFrom() must be instance of same class: expected Summary got Summary. for field Event.summary

Any ideas of why is this happening?

Thanks in advance,
Manu.

The first situation ImportError: cannot import name 'SummaryWriter' is that __init__.py is shadowed by tensorboard. But I can't reproduce the second issue.

Could you try uninstall tensorboard-pytorch 0.7.1, tensorflow then install tensorboardX (0.6.9) and tensorflow (1.3) and see what happens? Thanks

[mlagunas]

Seems to be working after uninstalling tensorboard-pytorch and installing tensorboardX.
I will do further testing later and comment you the results.

Thanks!

[mlagunas]

Tested in depth, every functions seems to work perfect! (even adding a graph! 👍 )

Thanks, this can be closed!
