How to force PyCharm to evaluate tensorflow.contrib LazyLoader so it auto-completes?
Steps to Enable Autocomplete in PyCharm for Lazy-Loaded Modules:
Manually Access the Module Once In your script or console, run:
import tensorflow.contrib
dir(tensorflow.contrib)
This forces TensorFlow to load the lazy modules so that PyCharm can recognize them.
Invalidate PyCharm Caches
Go to File > Invalidate Caches / Restart… > Invalidate and Restart
This clears stale index info and reloads module references.
Use Python Console in PyCharm
Open the Python console inside PyCharm.
Import and access submodules like:
from tensorflow.contrib import layers
dir(layers)
PyCharm may start showing auto-complete suggestions after this.
Install Stubs (if available) Some libraries may have stubs to help IDEs infer types. You can try installing TensorFlow stubs or check the community-supported ones.
