Tensorflow install from Source (Win7): bazel, python -> No module named 'encodings'

2

Goal

Use Python-trained (keras) model in c/c++. See section work-around for c-work-around.

Compile Tensorflow from source (rev 1.0 or 1.2.1) following the instructions from

https://www.tensorflow.org/install/install_windows

(tensorflow already is installed via pip in python3, but I need to use it from c++, so installing from source seems mandatory)

System

  • win7(64)
  • bazel 0.5.2,
  • python(env) 3.5.2 (64),
  • pip(env) 9.0.1,
  • msys64/msys2_shell.cmd (GNU bash, 4.4.12 (64-pc-msys))
  • gcc 6.3.0
  • java SE "1.8.0_131",
  • CUDA 8.0.60 (not used).

Error

(full logs are below in extra sections)

in msys2-shell, setting environment vars, activate python virt-env, doing bazel clean, ./configure,

bazel build --verbose_failures --config=opt //tensorflow/tools/pip_package:build_pip_package

I get this error:

Sorry, I am absolutely lost here, this message tells me nothing. Here some snippets from the files mentioned above, maybe somebody has a glue and gives me a hint for enlightment....

     srcs = ["util/version_info.cc"],

I suppose, that the wrong python version is used (not the virtualenv I activated) - there are several other python versions (2.7-32, 2.7-64, 3.5-32, 3.5-64) installed (which are needed otherwise).

Questions

What can I do to check, if bazel is using the right python (virtualenv)?

If bazel is using the wrong one, how can I change this?

If bazel is using the right version, how can I get more details about what is going wrong (and fix it)?

Meta-Questions

What further information are needed (environment variables)?

What can I do to improve the question to enable people to give advices? (please give comments, what is missing, wrong, unclear, too much)

Next steps

I searched for "Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: unable to load the file system codec ImportError: No module named 'encodings'"

  • tried to do the procedure below with a local admin account -> blocked by the company firewall

  • tried to set PYTHONPATH and PYTHONHOME, no effect.

    export PYTHONHOME=/D/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35

    export PYTHONPATH=/D/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35: /D/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35/lib/site-packages: /d/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35/libs

  • try to set up another virtualenv (as admin)

  • try to install tensorflow via cmake

Procedure

This is what I did after starting msys2:

In TF 1.0, I did a work-around for the first problem I faced (download failure of numeric_min_js). After some IRC talk & lots of tries - finally I commented out one line in /tensorflow-rev1-0/tensorflow/tensorboard/bower/BUILD (see below).

So now ./configure script (TF 1.0) runs without errors (warnings about http_proxy can be ignored, as I 've been told on IRC and on some URLs I googled). Below I added full logs of the full build-attempt.

My Python virtual-env is in

d:/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35/python.exe,

As library-path I used:

D:/bin/Python64-3-Anaconda/envs/python64-35/lib/site-packages.

Work-Around

Meanwhile I found a work-around for deploying Tensorflow (Keras) Models (win7/win10) without need of bazel/cmake/sources....:

  • use the C-API c_api.h from win/cpu, c-api example
  • create lib from dll via vs2015 command prompt:

    dumpbin /exports xxx.dll > xxx.def

    pywrap_tensorflow_internal.lib

  • extract gpu lib from Python pywrap_tensorflow_internal.lib

  • copy pyd lib _pywrap_tensorflow_internal.pyd to dll-path
  • maybe use gpu-options (python -> c):

  • python code

    gpu_options = tensorflow.GPUOptions(allow_growth=True)

    config = tensorflow.ConfigProto(gpu_options=gpu_options)

    serialized = config.SerializeToString()

    [int(i) for i in serialized]

  • c-code for gpu-options:

    TF_SessionOptions* sess_opts = TF_NewSessionOptions();

    // tensorflow.GPUOptions(allow_growth=True) ...

    uint8_t configProtoGPU[] = { 50, 2, 32, 1};

    size_t configProtoGPUlen = sizeof(configProtoGPU) / sizeof(uint8_t);

    TF_SetConfig(sess_opts, configProtoGPU, configProtoGPUlen, status);
