ImportError: cannot import name 'Elasticsearch' from 'elasticsearch'

When I try to import Elasticsearch in python 3.5 to python 3.7 I get always the same Error.

Code:

from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
print(Elasticsearch())

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "elasticsearch.py", line 3, in <module>
    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
  File "/app/elasticsearch.py", line 3, in <module>
    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
ImportError: cannot import name 'Elasticsearch' from 'elasticsearch' (/app/elasticsearch.py)

The Error for Python 3.8

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "elasticsearch.py", line 1, in <module>
    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
  File "/app/elasticsearch.py", line 1, in <module>
    from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch
ImportError: cannot import name 'Elasticsearch' from partially initialized module 'elasticsearch' (most likely due to a circular import) (/app/elasticsearch.py)

I tried it with Ubuntu 18.04, Windows and Docker. For Docker I tried python:3.8 to python:3.5 also python:alpine-3.8 to python:alpine-3.5

As requirements I use:

elasticsearch==7.1.0

Searching for Elasticseach Package

pip show elasticsearch

Your filename should not be as same as the package name. By renaming the file the problem would be solved. For more information why this error happened you can check this post.

Example:

elasticsearch.py  ----rename-to---->  sth-else.py
