python import does not work in scripts

Question

When I enter the python shell and try import for example numpy or tensorflow, there is no error, but when I run script that imports numpy it throws this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

and tensorflow:

It works earlier. I'm working on windows 10 x64, Python 3.5.2. I also tried on ubuntu 17, same case. Also when I enter python shell after executing script, importing gives me same error until i restart, in my case, powershell.

You have a local file named org.py that shadows an optional built-in package (only used in Jython).

From your traceback:

  File "C:\Python3\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 37, in 
    import pickle
  File "C:\Python3\lib\pickle.py", line 93, in 
    from org.python.core import PyStringMap
  File "C:\Users\Jakub\desktop\Nowy\workspace\python\org.py", line 2, in <module>
    from tensorflow.examples.tutorials.mnist import input_data

C:\Users\Jakub\desktop\Nowy\workspace\python\org.py is not the Jython package the pickle module looks for.

You only see this exception when you run your script because the directory your script is located in (C:\Users\Jakub\desktop\Nowy\workspace\python here) is added to sys.path automatically.

The attribute error is caused by the circular import; numpy imports pickle which imports your org script again, which imports numpy, but that module has not yet completed all its imports, so names are missing at this time.

Rename it to what? I've changed it to pickle2.py and now it get File "C:\Python3\lib\site-packages\numpy\core\numeric.py", line 37, in import pickle ImportError: No module named 'pickle' – Waxy Nov 08 '17 at 08:59
@Waxy: Ah, no, indeed. It is not `pickle.py`, it is `org`. I'll update. – Martijn Pieters Nov 08 '17 at 09:02
@Waxy: updated. – Martijn Pieters Nov 08 '17 at 09:04
God dammit python, what the hell. – Waxy Nov 08 '17 at 09:10
Thanks for your help . – Waxy Nov 08 '17 at 09:11
