r = random.randrange (-5, 11)
AttributeError: partially initialized module'random' has no attribute'randrange' (most likely due to a circular import)

i change the file name but it's still excist PS D: \ python example> & C: /Users/ny/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe "d: /python example / simple.py" Traceback ( most recent call last): File "d: \ python example \ simple.py ", line 1, in <module> import random ModuleNotFoundError: No module named'random'

Answer 1

Rename the file "random.py" to something like "myrandom.py".

The reason for the error is that you are importing the same file name as the built-in module.

To see which files are imported, try the following:
1. Write and execute the code below:

import random
print(random.__file__)

↓
2. Tell me the result and output.

it work
the result
PS D:\python example> & C:/Users/ny/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python310/python.exe "d:/python example/simple.py"
C:\Users\ny\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\random.py
PS D:\python example>
after that i wrote my code which is
import random
r = random.randrange (-5,11)
print (r)

it work

but why that happen the random medule part of python no need to setup like the other medule
thanks any way

[islam]

thanks for your help but i have qustion from your exeprince how do i know the right medule for my project becuse i'm trying to read

Too many typos?

How to import a library by specifying its absolute path:　（Valid in python 3.5 or later)
```
import importlib.util

MODULE_PATH = r"C:\Users\ny\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\random.py"
MODULE_NAME = "random"

spec = importlib.util.spec_from_file_location(MODULE_NAME, MODULE_PATH)
random = importlib.util.module_from_spec(spec)
spec.loader.exec_module(random)

r = random.randrange(-5,11)
print(r)
```

However, this approach is not used in normal development.
Just avoid using file names that might duplicate those of built-in modules.
It is more efficient to correct errors individually when they occur than to worry about duplicate file names and take the above approach.
