How can I resolve a "NameError: name 'null' is not defined" error while trying to import any module in Python 2.7

Question

I installed python today and used pip install successfully to get some modules. But I am unable to import any .py modules.

I created mod.py (it has a simple print command) in the same directory as the code I am trying to run. I uninstalled and reinstalled anaconda as well. But the error persists. Anyone with any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

import mod

NameErrorTraceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-1-18de99490651> in <module>()
----> 1 import mod

C:\Users\Mayank\mod.py in <module>()
      3   {
      4    "cell_type": "code",
----> 5    "execution_count": null,
      6    "metadata": {},
      7    "outputs": [],

NameError: name 'null' is not defined

This is a sample of what the .py code looks like in the editor (same problem):

{
 "cells": [
  {
   "cell_type": "code",
   "execution_count": null,
   "metadata": {},
   "outputs": [],
   "source": [
    "def fib(n):    # write Fibonacci series up to n\n",
    "    a, b = 0, 1\n",
    "    while b < n:\n",
    "        print b,\n",
    "        a, b = b, a+b\n",
    "\n",
    "def fib2(n):   # return Fibonacci series up to n\n",
    "    result = []\n",
    "    a, b = 0, 1\n",
    "    while b < n:\n",
    "        result.append(b)\n",
    "        a, b = b, a+b\n",
    "    return result"
   ]
  }
 ],

null isn't a reserved word like it is in JavaScript. None is used.
