NameError: name 'Klout' is not defined

Question

I am facing a weird error in python klout API. I have installed klout module with pip install. I have created a api key and I use the following code:

from klout import *
 k = Klout('key')

My code was running normally until before 5 minutes whereI received:

 k = Klout('key')
 NameError: name 'Klout' is not defined

Any idea about this error? Is there any call limit per hour??

Answer 1

You probably added a file klout.py in your path somewhere, masking the library you actually wanted to import.

You can diagnose what file that is by printing the __file__ attribute on the Cuckoo module:

import klout
print(klout.__file__)

Rename that file; you don't want to mask your library.
