I'm using a CentOS7 virtual machine created in Oracle VirtualBox.

I've installed on it python with sudo yum install python3and then python-gitlab using sudo yum install python-gitlab

Python version is: 3.6.8
Python-Gitab version is: latest version (at the date, just installed)

I've tried this python code

import gitlab
import os
   
gl = gitlab.Gitlab(url='https://<my gitab instance>/', private_token='my_token')
        
def get_projects():
    projects = gl.projects.list(owned=True)
    for project in projects:
        print(project.name)
   
def main():
    get_projects()
    
main()

but it doesn't wok and the error is

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import gitlab
  File "/media/sf_SharedWithVM/VM-Python/GitLab/gitlab.py", line 6, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Gitlab'

Any suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you in advance

@cesaregerbino rename your script from gitlab.py to something else ;) the namespace clashes with the package, which is also gitlab.

Hi @neich! I've just rename the script in Test.py but the problem remain ... :-(

To help debug it you might try:

import gitlab
print(gitlab.__file__)

Yeah, I'd say you either still have a gitlab.py file or a directory named gitlab in your python path and there is a clash.

You're right @neich !!! My Test.py file was, unfortunately, in a "GitLab" directory !!!! Thanks a lot!
