module 'gitlab' has no attribute 'Gitlab'

I am trying to read the file from gitlab. I created access token in gitlab for this. Downloaded module python-gitlab

I installed module python-gitlab from PyCharm: File --> Settings--> Python interpreter --> python-gitlab

import gitlab
import json
from pprint import pprint
import requests
import urllib.request
# private token authentication
gl = gitlab.Gitlab('https://gitlab.com/..../CSV_HOMEWORK.csv', private_token='xxx')

gl.auth()

# list all projects
projects = gl.projects.list()
for project in projects:
    # print(project) # prints all the meta data for the project
    print("Project: ", project.name)
    print("Gitlab URL: ", project.http_url_to_repo)
    # print("Branches: ", project.repo_branches)
    pprint(project.repository_tree(all=True))
    f = urllib.request.urlopen(project.http_url_to_repo)
    myfile = f.read()
    print(myfile)
    print("\n\n")

after print(gitlab) I have enter image description here

P.S. My file name from where I run my code isn't gitlab.py

You installed the package gitlab instead of python-gitlab.

Even if you installed python-gitlab already, the gitlab package will still conflict, so it must be uninstalled

pip uninstall gitlab
pip install python-gitlab

This is evidenced by the path identified in the error, pointing to a different package in site-packages. If you inspect the files in this path, you'll find it's not those expected to be contained in the python-gitlab package.

Similar problems (not necessarily in this case) may be caused in a circumstance where you've named a module gitlab.py or named a package directory within your project gitlab/.

The issue can also happen when the file is gitlab.py. Renaming the file will solve the issue, when the package is not conflicting with gitlab.

Posting @kaymaz' comment into an answer so future readers can discover a potential solution more easily:

When your file is named gitlab.py it imports itself instead of the gitlab (or python-gitlab) module. Therefore the above error message appears. Rename the file to something else and it'll work.

It worked for me after I uninstalled both packages and reinstalled the python-gitlab package.

pip uninstall gitlab
pip uninstall python-gitlab
pip install python-gitlab
