Python, Quandl: ImportError: cannot import name get

Question

I am new to Python and trying to import data from Quandl for some analysis. Unfortunately, when I try to get data from Quandl using quandl.get as below:

import quandl

data = quandl.get("FRED/GDP")

It shows the following error says that

ImportError: cannot import name get.

Can someone help me please. Thank you.

runfile('C:/Users/Jan/qdata.py', wdir='C:/Users/Jan')

I had named the file I was working on quandl.py When I changed the name of the file and deleted quandl.py it started working again.
