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

just like i said,it's a very strange question.i hope you guys could help me solve this question thanks

the following is my code:

import os
import zipfile

filename = "E:\\test.zip"
currdir = "E:\\vpn\\"

os.chdir(currdir)

tfile = zipfile.ZipFile(filename, 'w')
files = os.listdir(currdir)
for f in files:
    tfile.write(f)

for f in tfile.namelist():
    print "added %s"%f

tfile.close()

the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\pydemo\src\gzip\zipfile.py", line 7, in <module>
    import zipfile
  File "C:\pydemo\src\gzip\zipfile.py", line 14, in <module>
tfile = zipfile.ZipFile.(filename, 'w')

Your module is importing itself as zipfile. Call it something other than zipfile.py

You called your script zipfile.py, which means it is trying to import itself. Change the name of the file to basically anything else.
