title: AttributeError: module 'tensorflow' has no attribute 'compat' when loading tf.compat.v1.train.SessionRunHook
body: <p>I can see that this question has been asked before here
  <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62022827/attributeerror-module-tensorflow-has-no-attribute-compat">tensorflow-has-no-attribute-compat</a></p>
  <p>but the answer given was to</p>
  <pre><code>Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redistributable (x64)
  </code></pre>
  <p>It did not work for the previous member it has not worked for me either. I have visual studio 2019 installed. I downloaded it anyways and ran a repair of (MV C++) just in case. Still getting same error.</p>
  <p>So that being said I have not found a valid solution for this anywhere on google or stackoverflow.
  Here are some spec details of what I have installed.</p>
  <pre><code>tensorflow-gpu 2.1
  python 3.7.7
  CUDA 10.1
  Anaconda 3.7
  </code></pre>
  <p>Looks like gpu started successfully.</p>
  <pre><code>2020-06-28 07:19:47.851257: I tensorflow/stream_executor/platform/default/dso_loader.cc:44] Successfully opened dynamic library cudart64_101.dll
  </code></pre>
  <p>python packages for 3.7.7.
  All packages installed via pip. Only tensorflow installed via conda. Dont think it makes a difference. I used conda so I can specify install version 2.1, pip would automatically install 2.2.</p>
