Error while running selenium test case for a same code that ran last week

Question

I am running the code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver import ActionChains
import time

driver=webdriver.Chrome(executable_path="C:\driver\chromedriver_win32\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://www.bobology.com/public/What-is-a-Mouse-Over-or-Mouse-Hover.cfm")
driver.maximize_window()
a=driver.title
print(f'The title of the page is {a}')
#driver.execute_script("window.scrollBy(0,100)","")
#path=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='content']/div/div[3]/div/div/div/p[9]/strong/a")
#driver.execute_script("arguments[0].scrollIntoView();",path)
#time.sleep(5)
main=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='mgtoppanel']/li[2]/a")
sub=driver.find_element_by_xpath("//*[@id='mgtoppanel']/li[2]/ul/li[1]/a")

action=ActionChains(driver)
action.move_to_element(main).move_to_element(sub).click().perform()
driver.close()

It was running fine till last week, and when I try to run the code today, I get the following error

C:\Python\Python39\python.exe C:/Users/Acer_Owner/PycharmProjects/sel1/scroll.py

PS- selenium is updated Requirement already satisfied: selenium in c:\\python\\python39\\lib\\site-packages (3.141.0) Requirement already satisfied: urllib3 in c:\\python\\python39\\lib\\site-packages (from selenium) (1.25.9)

Answer 1

I had a file named email.py.

Renaming it helped.

Answer 2

It is always suggested to not name the project, package and module same as the existing library packages/classes. The error was also coming in your case because of the email package already existing in in-built library.

Renaming the module other name will definitely work.
