Tweepy: ImportError: cannot import name Random

Question

I\'m using Tweepy to send some messages to Twitter. I\'m getting a long traceback from the API. The traceback settles at:

ImportError: cannot import name Ran         


        

Answer 1

I figured this out. I had created a python file called 'random.py' during the course of experimenting with a random number generating script. My 'import random' call was grabbing this file, which lacked the library Random. It essentially created a conflict with the proper 'random.'
