Pytorch: AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'copy'
I am trying to load a model state_dict I trained on Google Colab GPU, here is my code to load the model:

device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")

model = models.resnet50()
num_ftrs = model.fc.in_features
model.fc = nn.Linear(num_ftrs, n_classes)
model.load_state_dict(copy.deepcopy(torch.load("./models/model.pth",device)))
model = model.to(device)
model.eval()


Here is the error:


  state_dict = state_dict.copy()
  
  AttributeError: 'function' object has no attribute 'copy'


Pytorch :

&gt;&gt;&gt; import torch
&gt;&gt;&gt; print (torch.__version__)
1.4.0
&gt;&gt;&gt; import torchvision
&gt;&gt;&gt; print (torchvision.__version__)
0.5.0


Please help I have searched everywhere to no avail

I am guessing this is what you did by mistake.
You saved the function 

torch.save(model.state_dict, 'model_state.pth')

instead of the state_dict()

torch.save(model.state_dict(), 'model_state.pth')

Otherwise, everything should work as expected. (I tested the following code on Colab)

Replace model.state_dict() with model.state_dict to reproduce error

import copy
model = TheModelClass()
torch.save(model.state_dict(), 'model_state.pth')
device = torch.device("cuda:0" if torch.cuda.is_available() else "cpu")
model.load_state_dict(copy.deepcopy(torch.load("model_state.pth",device)))
