Maybe T2T doesn't support tensorflow2.0 yet.

[RamoxCode]

tf.flags.FLAGS seems to have been moved to tf.compat.flags.Flag in tensorflow2.0

Seems like there's a 'v1' in it for TF 2.0: tf.compat.v1.flags.Flag

i get this error in tf 1.13.1. what is the issue?

i get this error in tf 1.13.1. what is the issue?

I had met same error in tf1.13 , have you solved this error?

I had the same error in tf 1.13.1, and solved it by renaming my own module which has the same name with a site package (logging)

[sisrfeng]

I had some local (non-Conda) Tensorflow packages still installed, which were higher priority in the python environment

Just rm -r each tensorflow package in your ~/.local/ library and reinstall the conda environment.

tf.compat.v1.flags.Flag
Actually, it is FLAGS at the end to be precise in tf2

I had the same error did you solved this?
