Trying to Perform Vtune Analysis Using Python 3.6

Question

I am created Tensor Flow (1.15.5) environment using python 3.6

Model name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v4 @ 2.40GHz

OS：Ubuntu 18.04.5 LTS

import tensorflow as tf

w1=tf.Variable(tf.random_normal(([2,3]),stddev=1.0,seed=1) )                                

I trying to run Intel Vtune Analysis in tensorflow environment.

vtune --collect hotspot python train.py
                                                                                       

After using this command I am getting Error. How to fix this error.

vtune: Error: Valid setenv symbol is not found in the binary of the analysis target.
vtune: Error: Binary file of the analysis target does not contain symbols required for profiling. See the 'Analyzing Statically Linked Binaries' help topic for more details.

You might be getting this error as you have an outdated end-of-life python version. Please refer https://endoflife.date/python

Please try installing later versions i.e. 3.7 or more.

conda install python==3.7                                                           

The issue doesn't exist when tried with python 3.7 as shown below:

(tf) :~$ cat train.py
import tensorflow as tf
w1=tf.Variable(tf.random_normal(([2,3]),stddev=1.0,seed=1))

(tf) :~$ vtune -V

(tf) :~$ python -V
Python 3.7.0

(tf) :~$ python -c "import tensorflow as tf; print(tf.__version__)"
1.15.0

(tf) :~$ vtune --collect hotspots python train.py
