Hi @sxshateri Twitterscraper does not work properly for Python2. Can you install Python3? Time is running out on Python2 anyway.

The right way to import a function from the query module is as follows: from twitterscraper.query import query_tweets

I'm using Python 3.8 and I still get the same import error:

from twitterscraper import query_tweets
ImportError: cannot import name 'query_tweets' from partially initialized module 'twitterscraper' (most likely due to a circular import) (D:\Users\....\twitterscraper.py)

Where twitterscraper.py is the get_twitter_user_data.py from examples in this repo

Hi, I am unable to run twitter scraper, it gives the under mentioned error. Please help! cannot import name 'query_tweets' from 'twitterscraper' (C:\Users\user.spyder-py3\twitterscraper.py)

I am running into the same problem, did you fix it? If so, how?
