AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat'

Since my CPU doesn't support AVX instructions and I want to install a newer version of Tensorflow (>= 2.0), I installed a tensorflow wheel for my Python version from https://github.com/fo40225/tensorflow-windows-wheel using pip

However, when trying to import tensorflow, I get the following error:

I have searched, but not found anybody who encountered the same issue using tensorflow wheel (just trying to install tensorflow via "pip install tensorflow" isn't going to work for me, as I will run into the ImportError: DLL load failed-error).

It seems tensorflow is not installed in your system in the proper way which causes this error.
You need to install tensorflow using any of the below command:

pip install tensorflow   
pip install tensorflow-gpu  # to install tensorflow for gpu support
pip install tensorflow==2.4.0  # to install a specific tensorflow version

For Anaconda environment in jupyter notebook, use below code:

conda install tensorflow
conda install tensorflow-gpu  # to install tensorflow for gpu support

Please follow this link which has step wise instructions to install tensorflow in your system.
