AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘iteritems’ – Python

Hey everyone,

Just running through object detection samples for Tensorflow and I encountered the following error:

Sample: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/tensorflow-object-detection-example

AttributeError: ‘dict’ object has no attribute ‘iteritems’

The issue seems to be that the sample hasn’t been made compatible with Python 3.x. Simply make the following change and it should work:


# Original
for cls, new_image in new_images.iteritems():

# Changed
for cls, new_image in new_images.items():

Converting proto files to .py on Windows – Tensorflow

Hey everyone,

Ran into a bit of an issue today with Tensorflow:

ImportError: cannot import name preprocessor_pb2

Turned out that I hadn’t run some of the installing steps. I needed to use protoc to convert the proto directory files:

protoc object_detection/protos/preprocessor_pb2.proto --python_out=.

This turned out to be a bit of a headache as well, but thankfully a github post explained it all pretty well:

Here are the steps I followed to install it for windows:
(Prerequisite, you must have python, pip and)

Choose a Python release from here and download: Link here
– Extract the tar.gzor zip
– Open a cmd and pip install the following: pillow, lxml, jupyter, matplotlib
– Copy the protoc.exe from the protoc folder (you don’t need to do all the CMake steps you might have stumbled upon, it worked for me without them too) and paste it into your protos folder in the object detection directory.
– Run the protoc for each of those protos like “protoc object_detection/protos/*.proto –python_out=.”. . Note that you might encounter a problem with the paths and there’s two ways around that: Either move the protoc.exe two folders down or do the noobish thing that I did – copy the protos and paste them into a new directory inside the protos folder ‘object_detectionprotos’ so you would have a folder structure like’object_detectionprotosobject_detectionprotos’ (If it looks stupid but it works, it’s not stupid eh?) Note that *.proto might also not work and you might have to do each of them individually
– You are done. 🙂 Try to run something to see if you have any problems. You might have to install a manual version of numpyandscipy

VirtualDog Tutorial PluralSight

Hey everyone,

Just taking a quick look at Jasmine with Typescript and found a decent looking tutorial on PluralSight with a sample app called VirtualDog. Attempting to run the following command resulted in an error on Windows 10:

Compass Only Works on Pins 10 and 11 – Arduino/Software Serial

Hey everyone,

A bit of a confusing issue I ran into today. I couldn’t get my compass to work on any pins other than 10 or 11. Thankfully, there’s a fairly logical explanation:

Not all pins on the Mega and Mega 2560 support change interrupts, so only the following can be used for RX: 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 50, 51, 52, 53, A8 (62), A9 (63), A10 (64), A11 (65), A12 (66), A13 (67), A14 (68), A15 (69).

I ended up using pins 50 and 51 and it all worked fine. See the following links for more info:

UnicodeDecodeError on RaspberryPi – Python

Hey everyone,

I ran into the following error while trying to read serial input on a Raspberry Pi hooked up to an Arduino via USB:

UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0za8 in position 0: invalid start byte

The solution was as follows:

#buffer_string = ser.read().decode('utf-8')
buffer_string = ser.read().decode('utf-8', errors='replace')

Exited with code 9009 – Visual Studio Build

Hey everyone,

I ran into the following error today while attempting to build a solution:

combiner exited with code 9009

It apparently means that a file couldn’t be found. The solution was to simply restart visual studio.

I’d been manually adding them to the directory and this is apparently a common cause. See the following Stackoverflow post for more info: https://stackoverflow.com/a/28198020/522859

TensorFlow – KeyError: “The name ‘import/input’ refers to an Operation not in the graph.

Hey everyone,

Just another small error I’ve run into while testing out Tensorflow’s label image example (Tensorflow/tensorflow/examples/image_retraining/label_image.py):

KeyError: "The name 'import/input' refers to an Operation not in the graph.

This one thankfully doesn’t seem to be my fault. In label_image.py change the following lines:

# Line 78-79
input_layer = "input"
output_layer = "InceptionV3/Predictions/Reshape_1"

# Change to this
input_layer = "Mul"
output_layer = "final_result"

Once that’s done just rerun your script and it should all work. Thanks to the following post for the solution: https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/12736

Tensorflow – No such file or directory

Hey guys,

Just a quick post on how to resolve an error I came across while testing out tensorflow: 

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:UsersChris-PCDesktopimages-to-useattempt2tensorflowexampleslabel_imagelabel_image.py", line 112, in 
    graph = load_graph(model_file)
  File "C:UsersChris-PCDesktopimages-to-useattempt2tensorflowexampleslabel_imagelabel_image.py", line 30, in load_graph
    with open(model_file, "rb") as f:
FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: 'tensorflow/examples/label_image/data/inception_v3_2016_08_28_frozen.pb'

All you need to do is download the following file and place it in the directory in the error message: https://storage.googleapis.com/download.tensorflow.org/models/inception_v3_2016_08_28_frozen.pb.tar.gz

Exit Raspberry Pi Camera Preview

Hey everyone,

I ran into a bit of a weird issue with a raspberry pi camera preview today. After starting the preview I hit an uncaught exception which meant that exitPreview was never called.

To get around this use the terminal hotkey and kill the python process. Note that while you won’t be able to see the terminal, it will be running in the background.
