AttributeError: module 'afl' has no attribute 'init' #14

Hello all I have just created a new virtual env to play around with python-afl.

However I cant seem to get anything to work. I have tried a few test scripts including the afl-fuzzing-demos. But I am always getting this error:

[-] PROGRAM ABORT : Fork server handshake failed

Also when I just import afl I am getting this error:

Looks like in the current working directory there's afl.py, which shadows python-afl's afl module. Rename your afl.py to something else and it should work.

Wow that fixed it!

Thank you so much! Sorry for the silly problem though haha
