AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute '__version__'

Question

I try to check if torch have been properly installed by script:

    import torch
    print(torch.__version__) 

and have the result: AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'version'

I've checked if torch is installed in my venv by:

    pip freeze

and it is installed(I tried to install as via conda as via pip as suggested at https://pytorch.org/):

• torch==1.7.1+cu110
• torchaudio==0.7.2
• torchvision==0.8.2+cu110

Environment:

• OS: Ubuntu 18.04
• GPU Geforce RTX 3070
• Driver version 460.39
• Cuda Toolkit V11.0.194
• Cudnn V8.0.5.39
• Python V3.6.9

Do not understand what's the problem

Don't name your file torch.py this will cause your local script to shadow the module named torch. Instead of importing the pytorch module you are importing your local torch.py (/home/evgeniy/cnn/torch.py). – Aurthur

Answer 1

Pytorch has a sub-module called version and from that you can say,
torch.version.__version__

Kennith

tried:import torch print(torch.version.__version__) the output is the same:Traceback (most recent call last): File "torch.py", line 1, in <module> import torch File "/home/evgeniy/cnn/torch.py", line 2, in <module> print(torch.version.__version__) AttributeError: module 'torch' has no attribute 'version' – Meath

Humph. Note taken – Kennith

When run from terminal it's ok – Meath

I have this work form a Jupyter notebook, but not when run directly in Python. – Inflammable

Answer 2

I got the same issue, it was related to a a poorly installed version of torch.

Just pip uninstall torch and pip install torch==2.0.0+cu117 worked for me.

It should also work for another torch version.

I also got the same weird error due to a bad installation of torch. The error message did not seem to make sense with the behaviour! – Inmost

Answer 3

I was getting this error in Python jupyter notebooks, trying to run code after just installing packages and Microsoft compilation build tools. I found just restarting the "Python kernel" (python instance running in the background) fixed the problem.
