AttributeError: module 'facebook' has no attribute 'GraphAPI'

Question

I get the following error:

AttributeError: module 'facebook' has no attribute 'GraphAPI'

When I run the following code:

import facebook
import re
token = "EAA..." # removed my access token for security reasons
graph = facebook.GraphAPI(token)
profile = graph.get_object("100036636053395")
posts = graph.get_connections(profile['id'],"posts")
for post in posts['data']:
    try:
        graph.put_object(post['id'],"likes")
    except:
        continue

Knowing that I made sure my python script is NOT named facebook . I'm using python3 and I've installed the facebook module using:

pip3 install facebook-sdk

Answer 1

As discussed in the comments, the problem was that there is some file called facebook.py in the working directory. So, when the Original Poster was running import facebook , it didn't import the facebook-sdk package, but it imported the script.

How to solve this? simple, rename your script so the interpreter doesn't get confused.
