installing GoogleMaps module in python

I installed GoogleMaps module via pip 

pip install GoogleMaps

above command installed module in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages

but when I try load it gives me following error 

>>> from googlemaps import GoogleMaps  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  
  File "googlemaps.py", line 1, in <module>  
    from googlemaps import GoogleMaps  
ImportError: cannot import name GoogleMaps

Does anyone know why this is happening?

Solution

  • It looks like you have a python file called googlemaps.py?

    This is causing a circular import and is repeatedly trying to import GoogleMaps from itself.

    Try renaming your file to something else and see if that fixes your problem.
