Sacred is not compatible with TensorFlow 1.14.0 #493
Description
TensorFlow 1.14.0 was released couple of days ago and it isn't unfortunately compatible with sacred. Tensorflow package in 1.14.0 has __spec__ property set to None, which results in exception in pkgutil.find_loader when one imprts sacred.
I'm not sure whether this is a bug/feature on tensorflow, however the fact that it breaks sacred is unfortunate.
$ docker run -it tensorflow/tensorflow:1.14.0-py3 bash
