如何修复此错误“AttributeError：模块‘socket’没有属性‘gethostname’”

Question

I am trying to execute this script to get the hostname of my laptop

I use Windows7 64bit and Python 3.6.4

I have tried this code in Python IDE and it worked . This error occurred in PyCharm

import socket
c = socket.gethostname()
print(c)

Do you have any solutions?

Answer 1

It's very likely that your file is named as socket.py .

Then when you import socket , it will import the current file instead of the python socket module.

Rename your file to another name and rm -rf socket.pyc (to remove the compiled bytecode generated by previous executions).

Answer 2

When I was importing matplotlib.pyplot, this error was coming - AttributeError: module 'socket' has no attribute 'gethostname'

But I had created a file socket.py once ,I removed this file, this issue was fixed
