Q:

installing GoogleMaps module in python

I installed GoogleMaps module via pip 
pip install GoogleMaps   

above command installed module in /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages
but when I try load it gives me following error 
>>> from googlemaps import GoogleMaps  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>  
  File "googlemaps.py", line 1, in <module>  
    from googlemaps import GoogleMaps  
ImportError: cannot import name GoogleMaps  

Does anyone know why this is happening?

A:

It looks like you have a python file called googlemaps.py?  
This is causing a circular import and is repeatedly trying to import GoogleMaps from itself. 
Try renaming your file to something else and see if that fixes your problem.
