convert a code from java into python

Question

Now I am trying to change a program from Java into Python, when I finally fix three problems on my code and I run it. Then shows me this Error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "serial.py", line 4, in <module>
    import serial
  File "/home/pi/serial.py", line , in <module>
    port=serial.Serial(
AttributeError:'module' object has no attribute 'Serial'

How can I fix it?

If you need the source code and What were the problems that I had to fix, let me know. Please help me about it.

Please add relevant part of your code (`serial.py` around line 4) — , Apr 04 '14 at 17:35
Are you trying to import a `serial` module within a module also named `serial`? — John Smith Optional, Apr 04 '14 at 17:38

I think import serial is wrong.

Did you try:-

from serial import serial

Your problem is simple - you have given your script file the same name as the library you are importing.

Fix: rename your file to some other name, e.g. serial.py -> serial_test.py and this should fix the problem.

You've most likely named your file serial.py or maybe Serial.py. Rename your file to something else, "TestSerial.py" if you're desperate to keep that name.

Golden Rule of Python: Never give a file the same name as a module you are importing from
