python - Tensor is not an element of this graph

Question

I'm getting this error

'ValueError: Tensor Tensor("Placeholder:0", shape=(1, 1), dtype=int32) is not an element of this graph.'

The code is running perfectly fine without with tf.Graph(). as_default():. However I need to call M.sample(...) multiple times and each time the memory won't be free after session.close(). Probably there is a memory leak but not sure where is it.

I want to restore a pre-trained neural network, set it as default graph, and testing it multiple times (like 10000) over the default graph without making it larger each time.

The code is:

def SessionOpener(save):
    grph = tf.get_default_graph()
    sess = tf.Session(graph=grph)
    ckpt = tf.train.get_checkpoint_state(save)
    saver = tf.train.import_meta_graph('./predictor/save/model.ckpt.meta')
    if ckpt and ckpt.model_checkpoint_path:
        saver.restore(sess, ckpt.model_checkpoint_path)
        tf.global_variables_initializer().run(session=sess)
    return sess

def LoadPredictor(save):
    with open(os.path.join(save, 'config.pkl'), 'rb') as f:
        saved_args = cPickle.load(f)
    with open(os.path.join(save, 'words_vocab.pkl'), 'rb') as f:
        words, vocab = cPickle.load(f)
    model = Model(saved_args, True)
    return model, words, vocab

if __name__ == '__main__':
    Save = './save'
    M, W, V = LoadPredictor(Save)
    Sess = SessionOpener(Save)
    word = M.sample(Sess, W, V, 1, str(123), 2, 1, 4)
    Sess.close()

And the model is:

class Model():
    def __init__(self, args, infer=False):
        with tf.Graph().as_default():
            self.args = args
            if infer:

Try first:

import tensorflow as tf
graph = tf.get_default_graph()

Then, when you need to use predict:

with graph.as_default():
     y = model.predict(X)
