Python Forum

Hello -
Hoping this is the right forum.
I installed pycharm and started using it. I am running into an error when using the import statement. Can you please let me know what I need to do to resolve the below error. Thank you for your help in advance.

My code

import random
print(random.randint())

Error

Error:
"C:\Users\108167\PycharmProjects\Project 1\venv\Scripts\python.exe" "C:/Users/108167/PycharmProjects/Project 1/venv/random.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):

    import random

    print(random.randint())
AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute 'randint'

don't name your file random.py. This way you shadow the built-in module with the same name.
