"import keras.models" error json

[gipe...@gmail.com]

Hello!

I already instal keras on ubuntu 14.04 and try example mnist_cnn.py.

So i have error in 

"from keras.models import Sequential"

error:

" File "/home/user/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 382, in raw_decode

    raise ValueError("No JSON object could be decoded") "

Getting the same error here:

>>> from keras.models import Sequential

Traceback (most recent call last):

ValueError: No JSON object could be decoded

Successfully got Keras to work on another machine, not sure why it isn't working on this one. TensorFlow imports fine.

Aaaand of course the moment after I posted on here I found the error. My ~/.keras/keras.json file was messed up.

I resolved the error as follows:

1. pip uninstall keras

2. delete .keras folder in your home directory

3. re-install keras from GitHub repository

4. import keras (to re-create .keras folder)

Hope it helps!

Worked for me! I tried a few times previously, but didn't do step2... After deleting .keras from home directory, the re-installation worked.

I had keras work initially, but then I changed the backend from theano to tensorflow by editing keras.json file in .keras folder. It was after that, the "json error" occurred when I tried to import keras in python. I guess the keras.json file was messed up somehow...
