Cannot run Google ML engine locally due to Tensorf

问题:

I'm trying to run the Google Cloud ML engine locally for debugging purposes by running the command gcloud ml-engine local predict --model-dir=fasttext_cloud/ --json-instances=debug_instance.json. However, I'm getting the error: ERROR: (gcloud.ml-engine.local.predict) Cannot import Tensorflow.

This is strange as Tensorflow works fine on my machine. Even a simple example like python -c 'import tensorflow' has no issues whatsoever.

回答1:

Is TensorFlow installed in a virtual environment or a non-standard location that isn't on the Python path when running from gcloud?

Its a bit kludgy but I would do the following to check the Python path being used by gcloud. Modify the file

${GCLOUD_INSTALL_LOCATION}/google-cloud-sdk/lib/surface/ml_engine/__init__.py

At the top of the file add

import sys
print("\n".join(sys.path))

Then run

gcloud ml-engine

This should print out the python path and you can now check that it includes the location where TensorFlow is installed.

Can you upgrade to the latest gcloud release (171.0.0) and retry? To upgrade, run

$ gcloud components update
