Using numpy 'module' object has no attribute 'array' [duplicate]

Question

I am just trying to convert a list to a 1D array like so:

import numpy as np  print np.array([2, 3, 4]) 

But I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):   File "numpy.py", line 11, in <module>     test_run()   File "numpy.py", line 8, in test_run     print np.array([2, 3, 4]) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'array' 

I tried reinstalling numpy because that seems to have worked for others, but this does not fix the problem.

Answer 1

You are most likely having a file called numpy.py in your working directory which shadows the real numpy module. Rename that file and remove its numpy.pyc file.
