AttributeError: module 'deepspeech' has no attribute 'Model'

Just curious, why is it that the filename would affect whether or not the program works?

It makes sense, the from deepspeech import Model would consider deepspeech module to be your deepspeech.py :-)

[reuben]

This looks like a problem with the installation of the deepspeech package. Could you try reinstalling things on a fresh virtual environment? If it still happens, could you post the full output?

Thanks for the help. I hope this isn't too verbose, but here is the steps I took:

As you can see, it worked fine when using the DeepSpeech example from the main repo's README, but when I executed deepspeech.py (which is an exact copy of mic_vad_streaming.py) it gave the same error as before.

P.S.: I might be AFK for a little bit before I get to work on it again.

You are setting up a virtual env and still use sudo to run pip. This can only lead to mess and inconsistent setup

Good point, I didn't even consider that.
I created a different venv, installed all the needed libraries using pip without sudo and ran it again but I keep getting the same error.

Can you also ensure the python3 command you issue does properly load the expected python from virtualenv ? Can you verify pip list as well ?

That's really really weird ...

What is this deepspeech.py ? Where does it comes from ? That's not in any of the examples as much as I can see.

It's working now. Thanks for your help @lissyx and @reuben. I named my testing file deepspeech.py just to test it. I didn't know that you couldn't name a python file the same as a library being used in it. If I name it to anything else, it works.

Just curious, why is it that the filename would affect whether or not the program works?
