ImportError: No module named 'edgetpu'

[zubairahmed-ai]

• Doc you were trying to follow: https://coral.withgoogle.com/docs/accelerator/get-started/
  https://www.pyimagesearch.com/2019/04/22/getting-started-with-google-corals-tpu-usb-accelerator/

• Your host OS: Raspbian on RPi 3B+

• Your Python3 version: 3.5.2

What I ran

python3 demo/classify_image.py --model ~/edgetpu_models/mobilenet_v2_1.0_224_quant_edgetpu.tflite --label ~/edgetpu_models/imagenet_labels.txt --image test_data/parrot.jpg

What the docs said should happen

I should see the results of the parrot classification

Score : 0.99609375

What actually happened

File "demo/classify_image.py", line 3, in
from edgetpu.classification.engine import ClassificationEngine
ImportError: No module named 'edgetpu'

[zubairahmed-ai]

This is due to the init.py not doing its job

As a workaround I had to remove edgetpu from all the import statements

import edgetpu.classification.engine

becomes

import classification.engine

and so on, anyone knows how to fix this?

Hi. Did you figure out the problem? I'm having the exat problem. Can you help me please?

[PjotrG]

Getting exact the same comment, any idea????

[JeanCarm]

Hey man, I reinstalled the edgetpu library and it worked for me. https://coral.withgoogle.com/docs/edgetpu/api-intro/
Let me know if it works and also what type of project are you working on?

Thanks Jean for quick response, I tried already to reinstall the library -but will try again tomorrow.. Concerning projects: I just started with the Coral Edge TPU and installed Mike Tykas teachable machine --which worked fine in the beginning but failed now (very frustraiting). I planned to combine the TPU with a robot arm or the Monsterborg but just started.... I will try again and will let you know Thanks again Peter     Gesendet: Samstag, 02.

Jean, thanx once again for your advice. Tried once again to upload, got this:   pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo apt-get install python3-edgetpu Reading package lists...

@PjotrG

Did you try my workaround?

[PjotrG]

@zubairahmed-ai
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/pi/Myprojects/Edgetpu/edgetpu-master/examples/classify_capture.py", line 20, in
from classification.engine import ClassificationEngine
ImportError: No module named classification.engine
yes..like this? failed as well ???????

[PjotrG]

@zubairahmed-ai
started everything new with image backup, looks much better but new error showed up, something to do with "loading requirements"???
File "classify_image.py", line 18, in
from edgetpu.utils import dataset_utils
ImportError: cannot import name 'dataset_utils'

[zubairahmed-ai]

Yes like that, you have to go in each sub-file that the main script is calling and change it there. Tedious but once done it worked for me.

[PjotrG]

@zubairahmed-ai @JeanCarm
Got it all (examples object detection/image classification, teachable machine) working again after installing everything new, looking forward now for learning more and own projects, thank you both for encouragement and help! which projects are you working on? Peter

[zubairahmed-ai]

@PjotrG I am not working on anything right now, what about you?
I'm looking forward to using it after reading some use cases from Adrian's upcoming book

[PjotrG]

@zubairahmed-ai I just installed the detect.py (https://github.com/google-coral/examples-camera/tree/master/gstreameron) with minor modifications on my robot arm (OWI 535): the gripper holds the camera and the arm follows a defined object detected (somehow similar to https://github.com/google-coral/project-banana-robo/blob/master/detect_standalone.py) it went "surprinsingly" well.
I now want to extend it to a self driving car model but ran into another installation problem google-coral/examples-camera#19....
Theoretically-wise I got insights from http://neuralnetworksanddeeplearning.com/index.html ... easy to read but not so easy content. I rebuilt the code on Windows.

The python module edgetpu is in the python3-edgetpu package.
sudo apt-get install python3-edgetpu

[PizzaMargherita21]

Hi guys! I had the same issue and solved it by Installing the Edge TPU library as follows

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-edgetpu

Link: https://coral.ai/docs/edgetpu/api-intro

I'm able to import edgetpu outside of a virtual environment, but inside, I get this error.
I create the virtual environment using python3 -m venv env after running apt-get install python3-edgetpu but to no avail. Any suggestions?

[aeropia]

I'm having the same issue in RPi 4B (no virtual env).
Unistall and reinstall does not remove the problem.
Any solution yet?

• Update the workaround I have found:
  I have added following statement in my .profile and now the edgetpu modules can be imported.

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages:/usr/local/python3.7/dist-packages

[jingw222]

Hey,
Installing the Debian package python3-edgetpu works fine but only under global system environment. However how can I import and use edgetpu in my virtual environment? Is there a pypi release available for the package?

[Namburger]

Hi guys I'll one up @aeropia. To me this is very standard python issues especially if you have multiple python version install + some odd virtual environment. Check out my answer here robmarkcole/coral-pi-rest-server#56 (comment)
