You can tell TensorFlow is still very new! Today I finally got it working, the install instructions on the TensorFlow web page don't quite work. There is a bug in the 1.0 release that gets pulled down with the Python pip tool and you need to pull a build from the nightly builds. Thanks to google search it wasn't too hard to find the solution in a github issue:
