Error when importing numpy with a very simple script

Question

I am receiving the following error when running a simple code which is the following:

import numpy as np

N = 10

diagonal = np.zeros(N) + 2

print diagonal

Error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "diagonalmatrix.py", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy as np
  File "/Users/jamesmalone/Documents/Python/Coursework/numpy.py", line 5, in <module>
    diagonal = np.zeros(N) + 2
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'zeros'

Answer 1

There is a numpy.py file in your current working directory . You need to rename it with some other name and then try again. The thing is this file is getting imported rather than original numpy module.
