Python AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

I installed the requests package, but when I start to use it, I got this error :

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

This my code :

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests 

r = requests.get("http://someSite.com/path")

I checked some solution to this problem, and most of them saying that either there is a mistake with importing the package, or that a file with the name requests.py exist in the current directory, but it's not the case for me.

it's been a while since I got this error, and I stuck with it.

any idea? thanks.

UPDATE

FULL error message

Answer 1

Your file is called parser.py which conflicts with a built-in module name parser.

The error message about requests was a weird and unfortunate coincidence. Just rename your module to something else.
