For me, the issue occurred when upgrading from numpy 1.19
to 1.20
and using ray
‘s RLlib, which uses tensorflow 2.2
internally.
Simply downgrading with
pip install numpy==1.19.5
solved the problem; the error did not occur anymore.
Update (comment by @codeananda): You can also update to a newer TensorFlow (2.6+) version now that resolves the problem (pip install -U tensorflow
).
