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.
