Cannot import name 'tf_utils' when using importing keras

Question

I'm using Oracle Linux 7.7, and I installed python3.6 using yum (epel repos). Then I install tensorflow 1.5(since if it goes newer ver I got core dumped) and keras. If I'm importing tensorflow, I got nothing. But when I import keras, I got

ImportError: cannot import name 'tf_utils'

Here's the full output:

$ python

I was using python 3.6 by building it from source before and keras worked fine but since I can't install tkinter for pyplot I uninstall it and using the one from yum instead.

Answer 1

Seems like it was a problem with keras 2.3.0, I installed keras 2.1.5 using pip and it works fine.
