Python Error (most likely due to a circular import)

[gilluc]

I wanted to check the python imap code on your github page and i got:

PS D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python> py imbox.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python\imbox.py", line 1, in from imbox import Imbox File "D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python\imbox.py", line 1, in from imbox import Imbox ImportError: cannot import name 'Imbox' from partially initialized module 'imbox' (most likely due to a circular import) (D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python\imbox.py) PS D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python> pip --version pip 21.3.1 from C:\Users\bosley\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\pip (python 3.9) PS D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python> pip show imbox Name: imbox Version: 0.9.8 Summary: Python IMAP for Human beings Home-page: https://github.com/martinrusev/imbox Author: Martin Rusev Author-email: martin@amon.cx License: MIT Location: c:\users\bosley\appdata\local\programs\python\python39\lib\site-packages Requires: chardet Required-by: PS D:\APPS_DEV_Dev_Sources\WINDOWS\Python>

You called your script imbox and try to import imbox which is obviously a circular import. Just rename your script.
