ImportError: cannot import name 'Parse' from 'avro.schema'

[jainmilan]

I installed tensorflow-recorder using the command: pip install tfrecorder. The package installs without any error, however, I am getting the following error when trying to import the package.

ImportError: cannot import name 'Parse' from 'avro.schema' (C:\Users\xxxxx\Anaconda3\envs\tfrecords\lib\site-packages\avro\schema.py)

Solutions Tried:

1. Tried installing tensorflow-recorder through pip3 after learning it might be python2/python3 issue from here.
2. Tried removing avro to enforce this package to use avro-python3 but looks like it needs avro.

Can somebody please help me with this?

Hi there, looks like there might be an issue with the downstream Avro dependency. Let me try to recreate.

@mbernico: were you able to replicate the issue?

[mbernico]

Yes I was. I don't have a solution yet though. It appears that something in avro is broken, which is a dependency of dataflow, downstream of us, so we don't control the versioning. When I get a free moment I can try to figure out what's happened in the avro code base. Thanks for your patience.

avro.schema.Parse is a deprecated function in avro-python3: https://github.com/apache/avro/blob/72b06153729b1a7963012b1e3e0cc3837e452322/lang/py3/avro/schema.py#L1247-L1252

Both the avro library and avro-python3 now have the lowercase parse() that should be used.
