Python Attribute Error: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

Configured the .ini file and attempted to run the python script in the installation guide. When entering code in line by line instead of executing the script I can get through the nfldb.connect() line with no error but nothing is printed.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "nfldb.py", line 2, in <module>
    import nfldb
  File "C:\Users\xx\nfldb.py", line 4, in <module>
    db = nfldb.connect()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'connect'

Could you please include the full code that you’re using?

Judging by the error message, it looks like you’ve named your script nfldb.py and then tried to run that script. The import nfldb line will then import your script instead of the actual nfldb library. Try changing the file name of your program.
