Boilerpipe python wrapper: ImportError: No module named extract

I successfully installed JPype and Boilerpipe Python wrapper.

My JAVA_HOME path is correct (as far as I know).

I created a python file with the following code:

from boilerpipe.extract import Extractor

extractor = Extractor(extractor='ArticleExtractor', url='http://www.endalldisease.com/two-giant-underwater-crystal-pyramids-made-of-thick-glass-found-in-the-center-of-the-bermuda-triangle/')

extracted_text = extractor.getText()

print extracted_text

I am getting this error when I run python boilerpipe.py

ImportError: No module named extract

How can I solve this?

Thank you very much.

EDIT

Interestingly enough, I changed the name of the file from "boilerplate.py" to "test.py", and now the error is different:

ImportError: No module named boilerpipe

What could be causing this?

Could it be in the first case the file was trying to import from itself?

Anyone know what might be causing a bad installation of Boilerpipe?

Do you have a file or a folder called `boilerpipe` in the directory as `test.py`? – Blender Aug 06 '13 at 05:28
@Blender Actually I called the file boilerpipe.py – TheProofIsTrivium Aug 06 '13 at 05:32
*Never* name your files with names already found in the library(the same is true for the name of variables and built-ins). Anyway, the last error shows that this `boilerplate` package is *not* installed or is not installed correctly. – Bakuriu Aug 06 '13 at 06:08
@Bakuriu I ran sudo python setup.py install and it looks like everything was fine – TheProofIsTrivium Aug 06 '13 at 06:09
Then `import boilerplate` shouldn't fail. Also: which `boilerplate` package is that? – Bakuriu Aug 06 '13 at 06:14
