I've been trying to run the Object detection API, at the point to test if the instalation worked: 

python object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py

I got the following error:

    File "object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py", line 18, in <module>
    from absl.testing import parameterized
ImportError: No module named absl.testing

I couldn't find a solution anywhere. Already tried pip install absl-py and pip3 install absl-py but without success. Hope you could help me.

Got it working by using python3 object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py instead of python object_detection/builders/model_builder_test.py. Forgot that I was using TF for python3.
