GZIP python3 AttributeError：“模块”对象没有属性“压缩”

Question

pipe.setnx(prefix+item[0], gzip.compress(bytes(item[1], 'utf-8')))

I'm trying to compress a file using the gzip python lib on an EC2 instance. I assume that gzip is part of the standard library. However, I get the following error

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'compress'

Answer 1

I figured out that someone else had added a library called gzip. So, it was defaulting to that one and the not standard library. I ended up using zlib instead.
