Small python script to rename variables in a TensorFlow checkpoint

I got an Error: ValueError: GraphDef cannot be larger than 2GB.

@batzner
Thanks for your cool code, but I got this error,
saver.save(sess, checkpoint.model_checkpoint_path) AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'model_checkpoint_path'
however, the conversion has actually done.
Why is it?

I wrote a loop with the rename function:

    for i in range(1,7):  # expaned_conv_i
        node_name = V_HEAD_EX + "_" + str(i + n_to_add) + "/"
        to_node_name = V_UPPER_HEAD_EX + "_" + str(i) + "/"
        rename(checkpointdir, node_name, to_node_name, dry_run=dry_run)

but the variable have them duplicated with a suffix "_1"

Renaming     MobilenetV3/expanded_conv_9/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_mean to

Renaming     MobilenetV3/expanded_conv_9/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_mean_1 to
MobilenetV3/upper_layers/expanded_conv_1/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_mean_1
Renaming     MobilenetV3/expanded_conv_9/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_variance to
MobilenetV3/upper_layers/expanded_conv_1/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_variance
Renaming     MobilenetV3/expanded_conv_9/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_variance_1 to
MobilenetV3/upper_layers/expanded_conv_1/depthwise/BatchNorm/moving_variance_1

Anyone knows why it's happening?
