gevent library: "Import Error: no module named greenlet"

Question

hello guys I have downloaded a script that require gevent python library and every time I run the script it says :

 File "shodan.py", line 7, in <module>
   from gevent import monkey
 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gevent\__init__.py", line 48, in <module>
   from gevent.greenlet import Greenlet, joinall, killall
 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gevent\greenlet.py", line 6, in <module>
   from gevent.hub import greenlet, getcurrent, get_hub, GreenletExit, Waiter
 File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gevent\hub.py", line 30, in <module>
   greenlet = __import__('greenlet').greenlet    
ImportError: No module named greenlet

I have successfully downloaded and installed gevent and i'm just confused can someone give me the solution and explain the problem.

`greenlet` is a `gevent` dependency: https://crate.io/packages/greenlet/ — rubik, Sep 07 '12 at 16:48

This is how I do it to make it work:

Download the latest gevent source from github: gevent
replace the source code in C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\gevent\ with the download source code.

Assuming you have gevent installed:

Check that you don't have another file in the same folder named as gevent.py, because if yes then when you do "import gevent" it's importing/calling that file that you named gevent.py.

Change the filename and it should work.
