error while importing webdriver from selenium in python

Question

The first thing I wanted to do is, installing Selenium in Windows and import webdriver from selenium.

So, I installed Selenium with pip install selenium and tried to import webdriver with:

from selenium import webdriver

But I got the error:

File "C:\Users\VIJAY\Desktop\selenium.py", line 2, in from selenium import webdriver ImportError: cannot import name 'webdriver'

Where am I going wrong?

Answer 1

Rename your file from selenium.py to something else. Also, make sure there is nothing named selenium in your desktop folder. You are probably not importing the library, but rather a python file.

Answer 2

Change your program name to something else like scraping if you are practicing it. Or else try installing it from the python console.

import selenium
from selenium import webdriver
