Can't use langdetect package in python

Question

I am trying to detect language of the string with langdetect package. But it does not work.

from langdetect import detect

word_string = "Books are for reading"
print(detect(word_string))

If I use code above I get error ImportError: cannot import name detect

When I replace detect with *

from langdetect import *

word_string = "Books are for reading"
print(detect(word_string))

I get error: NameError: name 'detect' is not defined

So my question is how can I solve these problems ?

So the problem was that my langdetect package and python file was with the same name.... Thank you for your answers.

Try installing it first by writing :-> !pip install langdetect on terminal and then import langdetect
