KeyError: ‘touchAction’ in Appium with Python

Question

I am self learning Appium with Python, but unable to execute TouchAction as I'm facing error

KeyError: 'touchAction'.

Here are the details:

• Appium Version: 1.17.1
• IDE: Pycharm

Code:

from appium.webdriver.common.touch_action import TouchAction
from selenium import webdriver

# Define desired capabilities
desired_caps = {
    "deviceName": "ac******",
    "platformName": "Android",
    "appPackage": "com.android.dialer",
    "noReset": "true",
    "appActivity": "com.oneplus.contacts.activities.OPDialtactsActivity"
}

driver = webdriver.Remote("http://127.0.0.1:4723/wd/hub", desired_caps)
driver.implicitly_wait(20)

# Locators and actions

user_action = TouchAction(driver)
user_action.tap(x=909, y=220).perform()

Logs in PyCharm:

Issue got resolved by adding from appium import webdriver and removing from selenium import webdriver under mentioned Automation script.
