Module 'wandb' has no attribute 'apis'

Hello, I’m trying to use wandb in a project I’m running on a server via SSH. I created and configured the virtual environment, but with wandb, I’m encountering the error ‘module ‘wandb’ has no attribute ‘apis’’. The server is running Python 3.6.8 and has wandb-0.15.12 installed. However, when I use ‘wandb login’ or any other wandb command, it throws the error. Could anyone help me resolve this issue?

Hi @andreysr

Thank you for reaching out to support. I’ll be gladly assist you with this. Can you confirm the following points to ensure that everything is properly set up:

  • Can you send as the stack trace of the error
  • Create a new fresh env
  • Install latest wandb sdk with pip install wandb
  • Execute wandb login

Regards,
Carlo Argel

Hi,
in a new fresh env

  from dataclasses import asdict, is_dataclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dataclasses'

Hi @andreysr

When you run the latest wandb sdk with pip install wandb, are you receiving this error?

from dataclasses import asdict, is_dataclass
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘dataclasses’

thi is what i see with the latest wandb sdk with pip install wandb

Hi @andreysr ,

Can you check on your end if/can you successfully import wandb (import wandb)?

Regards,
Carlo Argel

I have the same error. I cannot import wandb and the error comes out. I think python version matters? I have python 3.6.15.

Hello, I found that this happens due to some library dependency that ‘wandb’ has. I have a file that installs several libraries, and in the end, ‘wandb’ works without this error. I’m not sure which library it is, but this is the solution

Could you please share the libraries? Many thanks in advance.

having the same issue. any help would be appreciated

Hi @alenakim @andreysr @u6766669 @baj321, there appears to be some incompatibility issues with certain packages that use older versions of python. Note wandb will no longer support python 3.6 as of sdk release 0.16.0 releasing soon.

  • currently prior to wandb<0.16.0, we support the use of python version 3.6
  • with the release of wandb==0.16.0 we won’t support python version 3.6
  • if you use python 3.6 in your code, you should either update your python (if you can and want) or continue using a version before wandb==0.16.0

We recommend upgrading your python version and seeing if this addresses the import errors you are seeing.
