No module named google.protobuf

Question

I am trying to run Google\'s deep dream. For some odd reason I keep getting

ImportError: No module named google.protobuf

after t

Answer 1

I installed the protobuf with this command:

conda install -c anaconda protobuf=2.6.1

(you should check the version of protobuf)

Answer 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.

Answer 3

In my case, MacOS has the permission control. sudo -H pip3 install protobuf
