python cannot import module

Question

I have a problem. I want to use the docker-py(0.4.0) library, but i cannot import it. My code looks as followed:

docker.py

import docker

c = docker.Client()

c.info()

then i get this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./docker.py", line 1, in <module>
    import docker
File "/home/vagrant/docker.py", line 3, in <module>
  c = docker.Client()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Client'

when i run it from the python interpreter it works

>>> import docker
>>> c = docker.Client()
>>> c.info()
{u'KernelVersion': u'3.13.0-35-generic', u'NFd': 12, u'MemoryLimit': 1,

u'OperatingSystem': u'Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS', u'IPv4Forwarding': 1}

I don't use any virtualenv, only the system python. I have try it on two machines, but same result

Can someone explaine me what i am doing wrong?

your filename is docker.py and when you say import docker it tries to import itself. Try renaming your file and run it again
