Installing TensorFlow GPU on MacBook Pro (late 2013)

Note, installation works, but GPU TensorFlow does not.




CPU VERSION (tensorflow 0.12.1):

import tensorflow as tf
print("OUT: tensorflow imported")

OUT: tensorflow imported

from tensorflow.python.client import device_lib
def get_available_CPU_GPU():
    devices = device_lib.list_local_devices()
    #return [x.name for x in devices if x.device_type == 'CPU']
    return [x.name for x in devices ]

print(get_available_CPU_GPU())

['/cpu:0']


SAME CODE GPU VERSION (tensorflow-gpu 0.12.1 ):


OUT: tensorflow imported

print(get_available_CPU_GPU())

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
ImportError                               Traceback (most recent call last)

      5     #return [x.name for x in devices if x.device_type == 'CPU']

ImportError: No module named 'tensorflow.python'
