[SOLVED] Tensorflow module not found by Jupyter notebook

Issue

Problem: Jupyter says "Module not found" when I try to import Tensorflow on Mac.

Background:

• Virtualenv 16.7.9 installed & activated (venv)
• Python 3.7.6 installed
• PIP 19.3.1 installed
• Tensorflow 2.1.0 installed using PIP as per official install instructions

At the command line, I can activate venv, start python3 then import tensorflow and display the tensorflow version correctly. But Tensorflow won't import from within Jupiter. And if I try to change the kernel within a Jupyter notebook, only Python3 is listed.

On other threads, people recommend using anaconda, but I've used PIP to install Tensorflow as recommended in the above link.

Any ideas?

Solution

Install a Jupyter Kernel

You need to install a kernel inside the env and then use Jupyter.

ipython kernel install --user --name=.venv

Then restart jupyter, click new, you should see .venv in your kernel list.
