After pip installing, in python I can import this module if I start terminal interactively , but I get an error:

ImportError: cannot import name HN

if I save everything in a .py file and run it from the commandline. Why is this and how can I solve it?

Thanks.

Code:

from hn import HN

hn = HN()

# print the first 2 pages of newest stories
for story in hn.get_stories(story_type='newest', page_limit=2):
    print story.rank, story.title

Do the interactive terminal and `.py` run (from commandline) occur as the same user? – RedBaron Dec 23 '13 at 10:35
getting started code. See above. Thanks. – digit Dec 23 '13 at 10:45
can you `import hn` in script? how many pythons do you have installed? – alko Dec 23 '13 at 10:47
And what is your `.py` file called? (I hope it isn't `hn.py`) – RedBaron Dec 23 '13 at 10:53
@RedBaron Thanks !!! What a stupid error. LOL. Sorry to waste your time. Yes I called it hn.py. Brilliant me :) – digit Dec 23 '13 at 10:55
User made a typo in code and you ask me to explain it like it's a big deal or sth. – Mike Szyndel Dec 23 '13 at 13:00
