ImportError: cannot import name 'grpc_debug_server'

When running the second bazel command: bazel-bin/greeter_tensorboard/greeter_tensorboard '--logdir=/tmp/greeter_demo' I get the following error:

INFO: Running command line: bazel-bin/greeter_tensorboard/greeter_tensorboard '--logdir=/tmp/greeter_demo'

I did a manual check and indeed in TensorFlow 1.3.0 the 'grpc_debug_server' doesn't exist.:

In [1]: from tensorflow.python.debug.lib import grpc_debug_server
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

----> 1 from tensorflow.python.debug.lib import grpc_debug_server

ImportError: cannot import name 'grpc_debug_server'

The modules exists in the master branch of TensorFlow so I suppose it is added only recently and there is a version problem in 'tensorboard-plugin-example'.

Hi @axelv, thank you for reporting. We were discussing this issue here. https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorboard/issues/431

Could you try installing TensorFlow nightly by pip installing one of the links to a whl file listed under "Individual whl files" here?

Another way to install TensorFlow nightly (CPU support only, also Linux + Macs only) is via pip install tf-nightly. See the relevant tf-nightly pypi package.

Hi @chihuahua,

Currently I'm working with a built of the master branch and for now that seems to work. Thanks anyway for the suggestions!

Ah yes! Working off of TF master works too.
