Python PyInstaller 4.0 packaging TensorFlow 2.0 project not working ImportError: cannot import name 'pywrap_tensorflow'

I am trying to bundle a python application using pyinstaller that uses tensorflow.

I am now using Pyinstaller-4.0.dev0+2f4426f52, Tensorflow 2.0, Keras 2.3 and Python 3.7.3 all in a virtual environment.

I have tried various older versions, but each older version had a different issue that I could not resolve. I have dedicated 3 days to trying to solve this problem.

A simplified example of the script I am running is:

from tensorflow import keras
model = keras.Sequential()

I used the following command to run pyinstaller:

pyinstaller --noconfirm --log-level=DEBUG ^
    --onedir ^
    --clean ^
    --name MyModel ^
    --hidden-import=tensorflow_core ^
    --noupx ^
    main.py

Using hidden-import appears to be redundant, as the output states:

DEBUG: Hidden import 'tensorflow_core' already found

There were no build errors or warnings in the log.

I have looked into the pyz-00.pyz file and can confirm that TensorFlow modules are included in the file. I confirmed that the archive contains:

'tensorflow_core.python': (1, 9871434, 2355),

However when I try to run the exe I get the following error:

File "site-packages\tensorflow_core\python_init_.py", line 49, in ImportError: cannot import name 'pywrap_tensorflow' from 'tensorflow_core.python' (\dist\MyModel\tensorflow_core\python_init_.pyc)

It appears that pyinstaller can't deal with tensorflow, and I wondered whether anyone with experience here might know how to write a hook for it or knows of some other workaround?

keras tensorflow pyinstaller python

Can you try changing the directory from which you are invoking this program? Sometimes errors like that come up when the current directory has a tensorflow subdirectory with an init.py in it, which Python will prefer to any other installations. You can also refer to below link for some more troubleshooting steps:

Go to this path /usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages
Copy the tensorflow_core folder, paste it to your Project Directory and rename it as:

tensorflow from tensorflow import keras

After import tensorflow as tf, it works for me. Please, check.
