Scapy.all import * does not work

Question

So, I wrote a little script in Ubuntu for scapy.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
#from scapy.all import *
try 
   import scapy
   except ImportError:
              


        

Answer 1

I had a similar problem on OSX, I installed the scapy package pip install scapy and then I was trying to execute my test file scapy.py The error I got was :

python scapy.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "scapy.py", line 1, in 
from scapy.all import *
File "/Users/**/Desktop/scapy-test/scapy.py", line 1, in 
from scapy.all import *
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scapy.all'; 'scapy' is not a package

In my case, it was the file name itself that caused the problem it can't be called scapy.py. I change it to test.py and all worked, it had nothing to do with the package location just the file name.
