Hi, A common question we get in the #python IRC channel is, "I tried importing a module, but I get an AttributeError trying to use the things it said it provided." Turns out the beginner named their own file the same as the module they were trying to use. That is, they want to try (for example) the "azure" package. So they make a file called azure.py, and start with "import azure". The import succeeds, but it has none of the contents the documentation claims, because they have imported themselves. It's baffling, because they have used the exact statements shown in the examples, but it doesn't work. Could we make this a more obvious failure? Is there ever a valid reason for a file to import itself? Is this situation detectable in the import machinery? --Ned.
