Error while importing MongoClient from pymongo module [duplicate]

Question

I am trying to import MongoClient class from the pymongo module and getting the below error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "pymongo.py", line 3, in <module>
    import pymongo
  File "C:\Users\Iqbal\Desktop\pymongo.py", line 5, in <module>
    client = pymongo.MongoClient()
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'pymongo' has no attribute 'MongoClient' (most likely due to a circular import)

I have installed latest version of pymongo, which is 3.10.1

import requests
import pymongo

client = pymongo.MongoClient()

Answer 1

I think you named your file same as module name i.e, pymongo.py. Change it to something else and that should work for you.

Also delete the pymongo.pyc file if one was created next to it.
