New submission from Madison May: Naming a file `io.py` in the root directory of a project causes the following error on 2.7:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'BufferedIOBase' Similar issues arise on 3.x., although the error message is a bit more useful: Fatal Python error: Py_Initialize: can't initialize sys standard streams AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'OpenWrapper' At the very least we should ensure that the error message is a bit more straightforward and clear, as I imagine its not all that uncommon to cause this kind of conflict. ---------- assignee: docs@python components: Documentation, IO messages: 215940 nosy: docs@python, madison.may priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Naming a file` io.py` causes cryptic error message versions: Python 2.7 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue21202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
