tf.compat.v1.train.global_step

Small helper to get the global step.

# Create a variable to hold the global_step. global_step_tensor = tf.Variable(10, trainable=False, name='global_step') # Create a session. sess = tf.compat.v1.Session() # Initialize the variable sess.run(global_step_tensor.initializer) # Get the variable value. print('global_step: %s' % tf.compat.v1.train.global_step(sess, global_step_tensor)) global_step: 10 

sess A TensorFlow Session object.
global_step_tensor Tensor or the name of the operation that contains the global step.

The global step value.
