Python requests module suddenly stopped working

I am new to python and I have imported a couple modules for a script I am working on and one of them is requests. After a couple of weeks testing my script with no issues all of sudden in stop working and the message below appears.

I manually installed requests and didn't install any other module. The last thing I did is do some import command on the python shell to test if it is available.

[a.panaglima]$ ./downloader_test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./downloader_test.py", line 2, in <module>
    import time, datetime, requests, base64, urllib2, urllib, json
  File "/home/SRL/a.panaglima/time.py", line 2, in <module>
    import time, datetime, requests, base64, urllib2, urllib, json

It looks like you have a file time.py (/home/SRL/a.panaglima/time.py) that is causing issues shadowing the built-in time module.

Remove/rename this file.

Alternatively, refactor your project and use from __future__ import absolute_import at the top of your file (above other imports). This became standard in 2.7 Python3
