Still, the old issue persists, just issue a "import tensorflow as tf" with python3 you got:
~tensorflow/lib/python3.6/importlib/_bootstrap.py:219:
RuntimeWarning: compiletime version 3.5 of module
'tensorflow.python.framework.fast_tensor_util' does not
match runtime version 3.6
return f(*args, **kwds)
This does not prevent me from running short code, however who knows what this potentially means, better fixing that before the release. It obviously said the runtime was built with 3.5 instead of 3.6.
It's just a small Cython-compiled utility throwing the warning, it works fine. Everything else is pure Python and so doesn't care about 3.5 vs 3.6. We will fix the warning, though (disclaimer: I work on TF and added fast_tensor_utils--sorry!).
Those information is not accurate. First, Google has been trying to migrate to Python 3 for years, but the implementation of the plan has been delayed all the time. Maybe this year certain internal codes will finally be migrated fully. Second, many new projects are still in Python. Even if some Googlers hate Python, they have no other choice if they want to do AI.
I think Python 2.x is like XP/IE. It's supported so that more people can quickly benefit from the framework, which ultimately pushes the technology forward.
