No Module Named Google.protobuf

I am trying to run Google's deep dream. For some odd reason I keep getting ImportError: No module named google.protobuf after trying to import protobuf. I have installed protobuf

Solution 1:

There is another possibility, if you are running a python 2.7.11 or other similar versions,

sudo pip install protobuf

is ok.

But if you are in a anaconda environment, you should use

conda install protobuf

Solution 2:

Locating the google directory in the site-packages directory (for the proper latter directory, of course) and manually creating an (empty) __init__.py resolved this issue for me.

(Note that within this directory is the protobuf directory but my installation of Python 2.7 did not accept the new-style packages so the __init__.py was required, even if empty, to identify the folder as a package folder.)

...In case this helps anyone in the future.

Solution 3:

In my case I

1. downloaded the source code, compiled and installed:

   $ ./configure$ make$ make check$ sudo make install`

2. for python I located its folder(python) under source code, and ran commands:

   $ python setup.py build
   $ python setup.py install'
   

Not sure if this could help you..

Solution 4:

I got the same error message when I tried to use Tensor Flow. The solution was simply to uninstall Tensor Flow and protobuf:

$ sudo pip uninstall protobuf
$ sudo pip uninstall tensorflow

And reinstall it again: pip installation of Tensorflow. Currently, this is:

# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, CPU only:$ sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/cpu/tensorflow-0.8.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
# Ubuntu/Linux 64-bit, GPU enabled:$ sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/linux/gpu/tensorflow-0.8.0rc0-cp27-none-linux_x86_64.whl
# Mac OS X, CPU only:$ sudo easy_install --upgrade six$ sudo pip install --upgrade https://storage.googleapis.com/tensorflow/mac/tensorflow-0.8.0rc0-py2-none-any.whl

Solution 5:

when I command pip install protobuf, I get the error:

Cannot uninstall 'six'. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

If you have the same problem as me, you should do the following commands.

pip install --ignore-installed six sudo pip install protobuf
