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

Question

I am trying to input a matix using numpy and I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "phase1.py", line 1, in <module>
    import numpy as np 
  File "/home/rockstar/phase1.py", line 2, in <module>
    a= np.array([1,2,3])
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'array'

I am not sure why this error is there. Could anyone help?

You probably have a file called numpy.py in the same folder that shadows the real numpy module. Rename your .py file and delete its .pyc file.
