Python ignoring obd module

[lkv0315]

So I have been trying to install python-OBD as a proof of concept for a school project on my raspberry pi 4 4GB. I followed the instructions and did pip install obd which seemed to go well, as it pulled packages and installed them. I tried to use the default program you had written as an example:

import obd obd.logger.setLevel(obd.logging.DEBUG) connection = obd.OBD("/dev/ttyUSB0") cmd = obd.commands.SPEED response = connection.query(cmd) print(response.value) with the /dev/ttyUSB0 being the path to my USB ELM327 adapter. when I run this file: python obd.py the following is returned: pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python obd.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "obd.py", line 2, in <module> import obd File "/home/pi/obd.py", line 3, in <module> obd.logger.setLevel(obd.logging.DEBUG) AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'logger'

I checked to see if it was an install location problem and moved the package from ~/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages to usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages since the second location contained lots of python modules. I'm not sure what the issue is since I followed the instructions letter for letter.

try installing with python -m pip install obd => which means "dear python please use pip with the parameters 'install obd' " then you know for sure the package will be installed for the right python installation (copying packages around is always tricky)

Have you solved this issue yet? If so, please close it.

If not, I believe the problem may be that you've called your top-level program file "obd.py", the same name as the module. Please rename your top-level program file (i.e. your "script") to something different and try again.

As you can see, I am able to replicate your error using your naming convention but the problem is resolved once the file is renamed.

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python obd.py

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ mv obd.py obd_renamed.py pi@raspberrypi:~ $ rm obd.pyc
