python use opencv get an error

Question

When I use the opencv with the python, I always get an error. I set the environment like this:

install the python "python-2.7.5.msi"
install the numpy "numpy-MKL-1.7.1.win32-py2.7.exe"
install the opencv "opencv-python-2.4.6.win32-py2.7.exe"

Everything is OK. I test it using the following code:

import cv2
img = cv2.imread('lena.bmp')
cv2.show('Image', img)
cv2.waitKey(0)

But I got an error as follow:

 File "E:\Python\cv2.py", line 1, in <module>
         import cv2
 File "E:\Python\cv2.py", line 2, in <module>
      img = cv2.imread('lena.bmp') 
 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'imread'

Why? But when I print "import cv2" in the IDLE, I didn't get any error.

Yes, I named the file cv2.py. I have renamed it and now it's successful, thank you very much@JeremyBentham — Cruisehu

well, I guess you imported your file, ie the file you are writing. cause the file is using the name "cv2.py" as it suggested. you`d better change the filename.
