ModuleNotFoundError：没有名为“pynput.keyboard”的模块； 'pynput' 不是 package

Question

I'm trying to build a simple keylogger using the pynput library which I've installed using pip, when I write "import pynput" it compiles fine, but once I add a sub library like mouse or keyboard( from pynput.mouse import Controller ) it says that pynput.mouse is not package. I'm a newbie to python and please explain what this error means. Thanks in advance. This is the code:

from pynput.keyboard import Key,Listener
import logging
file="C:\\Users\\lenovo\\Documents\\log.txt"
logging.basicConfig(filename=file,level=logging.DEBUG,format='%(asctime)s: %(message)s')
def on_press(key):
    logging.info(key)
with Listener(on_press=on_press) as listener:
    listener.join()

AND THIS IS THE ERROR:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\pynput.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pynput.keyboard import Key
  File "C:\Users\lenovo\Documents\pynput.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pynput.keyboard import Key
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pynput.keyboard'; 'pynput' is not a package

Your code is totally ok but the problem is with your environment. Looks like you don't have pynput package installed in your working python environment. If you are using PyCharm then from the Terminal (located on bottom left) run: pip install pynput
You can also use windows command prompt if you are using windows to run pip install pynput .
