• tf_keras Version: 2.16.0

Issue Description:

I encountered an error while running my training script training_holdout.py with the following command:

export TF_USE_LEGACY_KERAS=1 
python3 training_holdout.py

Note: It’s crucial to use export TF_USE_LEGACY_KERAS=1 to ensure that TensorFlow utilizes Keras version 2.* for compatibility reasons.

The script failed and produced the following traceback:

TypeError: 'float' object cannot be interpreted as an integer

Cause of the Error:

The error originates from the randint function in Python’s random module, which is being passed a float instead of an integer. This causes a TypeError because the randrange function expects integer inputs.

Solution:

To resolve this issue, I modified line 336 in the file /usr/lib/python3.12/random.py from:

return self.randrange(a, b+1)

to:

return self.randrange(int(a), int(b+1))

This ensures that the arguments passed to randrange are integers, thereby preventing the TypeError.

Recommendation:

It would be beneficial to implement a type check or cast within the relevant parts of the TensorFlow or Keras codebase to handle such cases where float inputs might be passed inadvertently.

I would like to report this issue to the appropriate bug tracking system, but I am uncertain whether it falls under TensorFlow, Keras, or the Python random module. Could you please advise where to submit this bug report to ensure it reaches the correct library maintainers?
