Unable to install Intel® Distribution for Python

rg42 — Wed, 26 Mar 2025 16:54:56 GMT

I am referring to this documentation to install Intel's optimization for TensorFlow

Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* — Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* 0.1.dev1+ge26b4db documentation

However, when I run

pip install --upgrade intel-extension-for-tensorflow[cpu]

i get this error

Collecting intel-extension-for-tensorflow[cpu] Using cached intel_extension_for_tensorflow-0.0.0.dev1-py3-none-any.whl.metadata (2.1 kB) WARNING: intel-extension-for-tensorflow 0.0.0.dev1 does not provide the extra 'cpu' Using cached intel_extension_for_tensorflow-0.0.0.dev1-py3-none-any.whl (3.7 kB) Installing collected packages: intel-extension-for-tensorflow Successfully installed intel-extension-for-tensorflow-0.0.0.dev1

I am running python 3.10 on windows 11 with Intel i7-13650hx,

and i am trying to install this on a Conda environment which has packages from Intel Get Intel® Distribution for Python

regardless of the above error the extension is installed but when i run

python -c "import intel_extension_for_tensorflow as itex; print(itex.__version__)"

i get thrown this error

Traceback (most recent call last): File "<string>", line 1, in <module> ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'intel_extension_for_tensorflow'

but the module exists in the environment when i confirmed personally with 'conda list' and it gives

intel-extension-for-tensorflow 0.0.0.dev1 pypi_0 pypi

Hi @rg42

Thank you a lot for raising the question here.

As Intel® Extension for TensorFlow* extends the official TensorFlow capabilities, allowing TensorFlow workloads to run on Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series and client GPU Arc series, and only for linux, so it may not suitable to install it on windows 11 with Intel i7-13650hx.

But as we are keeping upstream the optimization to Tensorflow offically, you may install Tensorflow direclty : Install TensorFlow 2

running for your CPU.

thanks
