Python 2.7.9 ImportError: cannot import name firebase

I just installed via pip python-firebase (and requests) into a brand new virtualenv running Python 2.7.9, yet when I try to use from firebase import firebase Python spits out the following error:

ImportError: cannot import name firebase

I know for a fact the module and its prereqs are installed because I can see them in the list of modules generated by help(‘modules’)

I created this virtual environment after running into the same issue developing without a virtual environment (e.g. I was installing everything to the system’s typical Python install). I figured I’d messed something up so I started over with a fresh virtual environment and used it exclusively when I was reinstalling my other dependencies.

Am I doing something wrong? Is Python 2 not supported?

just not use firebase.py as a name for your project and it will work

Hi everyone, I haved the same problem and it’s true… you must rename “firebase.py” to some other name and delete all the “firebase.pyc” created… I deleted almost 3 of them and then works 😃
