Import scipy.stats error

Question

So I want to import scipy.stats, for whatever reason when I type :

import scipy 

it works just fine, no error, but when I type :

import scipy.stats 

Suddenly I got an error :

C:\Python34\python.exe "G:/Python Practice/Gui Int/apa.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<frozen importlib._bootstrap>", line 2218, in _find_and_load_unlocked
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute '__path__'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:/Python Practice/Gui Int/apa.py", line 2, in <module>
    import scipy.stats
ImportError: No module named 'scipy.stats'; 'scipy' is not a package

I try another such as scipy.io and it's error as well, can I ask what is wrong? is my scipy installation broken or something?? Thank you very much

Answer 1

The last part of the error clearly shows one of the files in your directory setup is shadowing the scipy package:

'scipy' is not a package

Well, scipy is a package.

You have a file called scipy.py in your directory, and that's why the first import works while the second does not.
