Hi all, I am a Rasa newbie, somehow installed (after crossing the tensorflow import issue) on an old Windows 10 PC and ran rasa init. I got the following error: AttributeError: module ‘tensorflow.python.util.compat’ has no attribute ‘v1’.

Can someone help on how to set this right?

FYI, initially, I was getting tensorflow import errors when I ran rasa init, so I fished around and installed tensorflow with this, which got me past the import issue:

pip install tensorflow-1.6.0-cp36-cp36m-win\_amd64.whl

Thanx.

If you start with a clean environment and install `rasa==1.7.0`, everything should work as expected.
