What is the cause of this Attribute Error?

Question

I have 2 modules as:

1. main.py

2. get.py

In main.py, I need to call a function present in get.py which is call_get(). So I'm trying it this way:

import get
get.call_get()

But it throws an error as 'Attribute Error'. On the other hand, the following code works:

import temp
temp.func()

function func in temp.py looks as:

import get
get.call_get()

I am unable to understand this behaviour. Please guide.

get.py code:

import requests
import json
import sys
import utils
import error_handler
import get_helper
import os
import pvdata

def call_get():
    try:
        auth_tuple = utils.get_auth_details("get")
        headers = utils.get_header()
        resource_types = utils.get_resource_types()
        namespaces = utils.get_namespaces()

        if resource_types[0].lower() == "all":
            resource_types = utils.append_all_resources()

        get_helper.get_namespace_list(auth_tuple, headers)
        all_namespaces = utils.extract_namespaces_from_list("source")

        if namespaces[0].lower() != "all":
            error_handler.validate_source_namespaces(namespaces, all_namespaces)

        utils.create_file(
            "Namespaces", "All_namespaces_at_source.txt", str(all_namespaces))

        get_helper.generate_json_for_all_namespaces(
            all_namespaces, auth_tuple, headers)

        for resource_name in resource_types:
            if namespaces[0].lower() == "all":
                for namespace in all_namespaces:
                    get_helper.call_all_functions_for_get(
                        namespace, resource_name, headers, auth_tuple)
            else:
                for namespace in namespaces:
                    get_helper.call_all_functions_for_get(
                        namespace, resource_name, headers, auth_tuple)
    except Exception as error:
        filename = os.path.basename(__file__)
        error_handler.print_exception_message(error, filename)

    return

if __name__ == "__main__":
    call_get()

main.py code:

import utils
import remote_exec
import post
import get
import error_handler
import os
import handle_space
import socket
import json
from requests import get
import sys
import temp

def only_dest_requires_jumpserver():
    try:
        dictionary = {
            "migration_type": utils.config_data()["source_cloud"] + " to " + utils.config_data()["dest_cloud"]
        }

        utils.update_config_file(dictionary)
        print("\nInitialising " + utils.config_data()["source_cloud"] + " to " + utils.config_data()["dest_cloud"] + " migration...")
        hostname = socket.gethostname()

        if hostname == utils.config_data()["my_hostname"]:
            # get.call_get()
            temp.func()
            print("\nData successfully exported from source to this machine.\nChecking for space availability at jumpserver...")
            print("Done!")
    except Exception as error:
        filename = os.path.basename(__file__)
        error_handler.print_exception_message(error, filename)

Answer 1

The issue is main.py has 2 get modules as:

import get 
from requests import get

get is being overwritten.....you need to rename your function or use

import request
request.get

Another simple way is aliasing suggested by InsertCheesyLine.

from requests import get as _get

and use _get
