Windows 10 1803
Python 3.6.2
TensorFlow 1.11.0

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import demo
File "C:\Projects\ml\handwriting-synthesis\demo.py", line 9, in <module>
    from rnn import rnn
File "C:\Projects\ml\handwriting-synthesis\rnn.py", line 10, in <module>
    from rnn_ops import rnn_free_run
File "C:\Projects\ml\handwriting-synthesis\rnn_ops.py", line 9, in <module>
    from tensorflow.python.ops.rnn_cell_impl import _concat, _like_rnncell
ImportError: cannot import name '_like_rnncell'

Solution:

Hacky, but I simply removed the reference to _like_rnncell on lines 9, 29, and 30 in rnn_ops.py. Seems to run fine afterwards (though this led to encountering Issue #17).
