AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'client' python dropbox api [closed]

Question

I'm starting with the python api dropbox ,I've copied the first example but I get an error

import dropbox

# Get your app key and secret from the Dropbox developer website
app_key = 'MY_APP_KEY'
app_secret = 'MY_APP_SECRET'

flow = dropbox.client.DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect(app_key, app_secret)

the dropbox object has not a client atribute but it's the same code of the documentation.

the traceback

/usr/bin/python2.7 /home/user/PycharmProjects/api/dropbox.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/PycharmProjects/api/dropbox.py", line 3, in <module>
    import dropbox
  File "/home/user/PycharmProjects/api/dropbox.py", line 9, in <module>
    flow = dropbox.client.DropboxOAuth2FlowNoRedirect(app_key, app_secret)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'client'

Answer 1

You have called your own script dropbox.py, you need to rename your script and delete any dropbox.pyc file. You are trying to import from your local file not the dropbox module.
