Error import nmap into python

Question

I installed nmap module for python. While i was importing nmap,it received error. This error is attribute error.

Command line:

root@harun:~/Desktop# python nmap.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "nmap.py", line 2, in <module>
    import nmap
   File "/root/Desktop/nmap.py", line 3, in <module>
    nm = nmap.PortScanner()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'PortScanner'

this code is:

!/usr/bin/env python

import nmap
nm = nmap.PortScanner()

I changed code this:

!/usr/bin/env python

from nmap import nmap
nm = nmap.PortScanner()

But it received same error.

one more changed:

!/usr/bin/env python
 import nmap
 directory=dir(nmap)
 print directory

this received:

 root@harun:~/Desktop# python nmap.py
 ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'nmap']
 ['__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__name__', '__package__', 'directory', 'nmap']

But normally:

 root@harun:~# python
 >>> dir(nmap)

['PortScanner', 'PortScannerAsync', 'PortScannerError', 'PortScannerHostDict', 'PortScannerYield', 'Process', '__author__', '__builtins__', '__doc__', '__file__', '__last_modification__', '__name__', '__package__', '__path__', '__version__', 'collections', 'convert_nmap_output_to_encoding', 'csv', 'io', 'nmap', 'os', 're', 'shlex', 'string', 'subprocess', 'sys', 'types', 'xml']

Could you tell me how I do ?

I think the link in the comment ('module' object has no attribute 'Serial') –is relevant. So instead of import nmap, try from nmap import PortScanner and then nm = PortScanner

The fact that you are calling your program nmap.py may in the future cause conflicts, so you may want to rename that.

I agree. But at first while i was sharing, moderator suggested. So i changed it. I changed name and instead of import nmap , wrote from nmap import nmap. But it doesn't work.

Did you try renaming the file too?

Make sure you get rid of the old nmap.pyc or cache file if that's there. If that doesn't do it break out a debugger. I have a good one called trepan2. You should be able to step into the import statement.

This wont fix the issue as it's the way in which it is imported that is the issue, not a missing module.
