AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'config'

Question

I'm new to Python and am trying my first applications. Why am I getting the Attribute message:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\myname\documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\PythonApplication 1\PythonApplication1\RunSikuliOnVM.py", line 97, in logging.config.dictConfig(LOG_DICT_CONFIG_OnVM) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'config' Press any key to continue . . .

Here is a portion of my code so far:

import logging.config

LOGFILE = r"V:/RunTests.log"

FAILEDTESTS = r"V:/FailedTests.txt"

Answer 1

I'm also a newbie. I had the same problem. I deleted the crud in my directory (build and dist folders etc), then rebuilt it all. Bingo! I suspect that, as Alain suggested, PyCharm has cached something undesirable.
