Python - Date and Time: AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'month'

Question

This is my calendar code in Python and I have saved it to my folder as calendar.py.

import calendar
a = calendar.month(2016, 3)
print (a)
print ("The Calendar :")

When I execute it, it raises an error :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "calendar.py", line 1, in <module>
    import calendar
  File "/opt/lampp/htdocs/py/calendar.py", line 2, in <module>
    a = calendar.month(2016, 3)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'month'

What's going on?

Answer 1

The problem is that you used the name calendar.py for your file. Use any other name, and you will be able to import the python module calendar.

Answer 2

Do not name the file as calendar.py and there should be no calendar.py file on the same path
