Python/Json AttributeError: partially initialized module 'json' has no attribute [duplicate]

Question

I am running Windows 10 with MS Code Python 3.7

I get the following message from my simple code block

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:/Users/marke/OneDrive/Desktop/Python Tutorial/json.py", line 1, in module import json File "c:\Users\marke\OneDrive\Desktop\Python Tutorial\json.py", line 6, in jsText = json.loads(FileText) AttributeError: partially initialized module 'json' has no attribute 'loads' (most likely due to a circular import)

My code

import json

jsFile = open("myjson.json","r")

FileText = jsFile.read
jsText = json.loads(FileText)

When you name your script the name of the module you try to import, python tries to imports your script first, which results in the Error

Exactly . I got the same error -> AttributeError: partially initialized module 'jsondiff' has no attribute 'diff' (most likely due to a circular import). This solves the issue.
