Problem Statement: I encountered several issues when trying to import Keras components in my TensorFlow project. Initially, I used the following import statements:
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
from keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
However, I kept getting these errors in VS Code with Pylance:
- Import "tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image" could not be resolved PylancereportMissingImport
- Import "keras.preprocessing" could not be resolved PylancereportMissingImport Even though TensorFlow and Keras were installed correctly, these errors persisted.
Solution: After some research and experimentation, I found the correct import paths that resolved the issue for both ImageDataGenerator and the Keras callbacks.
For ImageDataGenerator: Instead of using the usual import path:
from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
I used:
from keras._tf_keras.keras.preprocessing.image import ImageDataGenerator
This path worked perfectly in my environment, and Pylance no longer showed any missing import errors.
- I'm using TensorFlow 2.17.0 and Keras 3.5.0 installed via pip install tensorflow.
- My IDE is Visual Studio Code, and these errors seemed to be specific to Pylance’s handling of the imports.
- If you're facing similar issues, check the import paths in your setup, as they may differ depending on the versions of TensorFlow and Keras you are using.
