Python Path Issue - ayaz786amd - Nov-14-2018

There is some path issue with my python installation. Following is my code
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('ZILLOW-Z77006_ZRISFRR.csv')

print(df.head())
df.set_index('Date', inplace=True)
df.to_csv('new.csv')

df = pd.read_csv('new.csv')
print(df.head())

df = pd.read_csv('new.csv', index_col=0)
print(df.head())
AND THE ERROR IS:
Error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Make sure that you don't have a file named pandas.py in the same folder as your file.
Also, rename your file from csv.py to something else as you shadow the built-in module with the same name csv and as you can see from the traceback pandas try to import it and in facts imports your own file and that may be the actual cause of the problem.
