AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'resource_loader'

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS clean install and fully updated, after a pip3 install of tensorflow-gpu and install of blocksparse from source I am getting the following error:

Same issue. Is there any solution?

The team is still recuperating from the $1 billion Gates investment hangovers apparently. :)

Having this error when trying to run the sparse attention repo. Has the error using both TF 2.1 and 2.0.

Try doing tf.compat.v1.resource_loader instead of tf.resource_loader in the utils.py file.
