Can't import pmdarima even though it's installed properly

Question

I have a working installation of pmdarima in a conda enviroment

(pmdarima) > pip list | findstr pmdarima

pmdarima 1.1.0

And when I run python I am able to import pmdarima.

(pmdarima) > python

Python 3.7.2 | packaged by conda-forge | (default, Mar 20 2019, 01:38:26) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] :: Anaconda, Inc. on win32

Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

>>> from pmdarima.arima import auto_arima

>>>

But when I run a python script which imports pmdarima package I get this error.

(pmdarima) > python pmdarima.py

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "pmdarima.py", line 4, in

from pmdarima.arima import auto_arima

File "project_path\\pmdarima.py", line 4, in

from pmdarima.arima import auto_arima

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pmdarima.arima'; 'pmdarima' is not a package

After getting this error I reopen python in the same enviroment and I cant even import the package here anymore

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pmdarima.arima'; 'pmdarima' is not a package

After restarting the terminal I can import the package again in python and the rest repeats itself
