AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'command'

Obvious error, my file was called click.py, so when using import click it was importing the file, not the Click library

[mitsuhiko]

Don't name your file click.py. This is a Python limitation.

i also named mine "click.py", thanks for the hint @FredoJones .
⚠️ in my case a file called click.pyc was created in my pwd, which i needed to delete.
only then did the strangeness disappear

Closed for the time being. If you can show me a traceback I will repoen it. At the moment closed for "works for me".

I am having the same problem on an Ubuntu 14.04 with python 2.7. Click installed via pip. Note I am very new to python, so I might have done something wrong. However, I copy/pasted the example code from the clip homepage:

jurian@kaia:~/test$ cat __init__.py 
import click

@click.command()
@click.option('--count', default=1, help='number of greetings')
@click.option('--name', prompt='Your name',
              help='the person to greet', required=True)
def hello(count, name):
    for x in range(count):
        click.echo('Hello %s!' % name)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    hello()
jurian@kaia:~/test$ python __init__.py --name=Jurian
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "__init__.py", line 12, in <module>
    hello()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 320, in __call__
    return self.main(*args, **kwargs)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 304, in main
    self.invoke(ctx)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 276, in invoke
    ctx.invoke(self.callback, **ctx.params)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/click/core.py", line 169, in invoke
    return callback(*args, **kwargs)
  File "__init__.py", line 9, in hello
    click.echo('Hello %s!' % name)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'echo'

Here it's about the "echo" and not "command", but the type of error should be the same I guess. If you need more info, I can show some more.

[mitsuhiko]

That's just an old version of click.

[joebentley]

I'm getting the same issue on the latest version of click

Traceback (most recent call last):

    import click
  File "/Users/joe/src/python/click/click.py", line 3, in <module>

Don't name your file click.py is correct answer.
