Module 'pandas' has no attribute 'DataFrame'

Question

import pandas as pd 
import dateutil

# Load data from csv file
data = pd.DataFrame.from_csv('phone_data.csv')
# Convert date from string to date times
data['date'] = data['date'].apply(dateutil.parser.parse, dayfirst=True)

The above code causes the error: "module 'pandas' has no attribute 'DataFrame'"

I'm new to Python and am attempting to use this tutorial: Summarising, Aggregating, and Grouping data in Python Pandas

Any suggestions on what could be causing the error? I've noticed others have had the same question, but the proposed solutions don't seem to apply in my case.

Alright OP, figured this one out. Not exactly sure why this is the case, but it's because of what you named your file. Somehow naming your script dateutil.py and importing dateutil/pandas is causing a problem.

I got the same error locally until I renamed it. Try renaming your file to something like myfile.py and your problem should be solved.
