Attempting to run test file with contents of:

import docker
client = docker.from_env()

Following error:

$ python docker.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "docker.py", line 1, in <module>
    import docker
  File "/Users/docker.py", line 3, in <module>
    client = docker.from_env()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'from_env'

@narenst Looks like there was a file named docker.py which was being imported instead of the docker library.

Solution: the name of the file need to be different from “docker.py”
