Error running OpenTok Server Code (Python)

I have problem running flask run for OpenTok server code. How can I eradicate the error? Thanks in advance.

This is the error:

(opentokenv) ➜  opentok-server python -m flask run
Traceback (most recent call last):

    from opentok import OpenTok
ImportError: cannot import name OpenTok

This is the Python code:

from flask import Flask, render_template
from opentok import OpenTok
import os

try:
    api_key = os.environ['API_KEY']
    api_secret = os.environ['API_SECRET']
except Exception:
    raise Exception('You must define API_KEY and API_SECRET environment variables')

app = Flask(__name__)
opentok = OpenTok(api_key, api_secret)
session = opentok.create_session()

@app.route("/")
def hello():
    key = api_key
    session_id = session.session_id
    token = opentok.generate_token(session_id)
    return render_template('index.html', api_key=key, session_id=session_id, token=token)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    app.debug = True
    app.run()

I tried your code and it worked for me, until I changed the filename to opentok.py (from the stack trace it appears that is the name you are using).

I think the quickest solution here is to change your filename from opentok.py to something else as it conflicting with the library name. (Don't forget to remove the opentok.pyc file too).

If you wish to keep the name you should see this answer about Absolute and Relative imports
