Python-OBD module object has no attribute "OBD"

Having problem in bootstrapping my OBD scanner using python-obd library. I'm more of a Ruby guy, new to python. Doing the python-obd's tutorial code and terminal answers this:

 File "car.py", line 2, in <module>
    import obd
  File "/Users/aabulkhairov/Development/publicobd/obd.py", line 3, in     <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OBD'

Do i have to find the obd.py file and copy it to this file's folder?

Here's the car.py:

import obd

connection = obd.OBD() # auto-connects to USB or RF port

cmd = obd.commands.SPEED # select an OBD command (sensor)

response = connection.query(cmd) # send the command, and parse the response

print(response.value) # returns unit-bearing values thanks to Pint
print(response.value.to("mph")) # user-friendly unit conversions

One thing I learned is that you shouldn't name your (test) Python file:

obd.py

And then start with a search of the available ports:

ports = obd.scan_serial()      # return list of valid USB or RF ports
