python : install logging module

Question

I have python 3.5, tried to install logging package in PyCharm, I got an error:

Error occured when installing package 'logging' Make sure that you use a version of Python supported by this package. Currently you are using Python 3.5.

import logging
logging.warning('Watch out!')
logging.info('I told you so')

UPDATE:

If it is included why I got this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:/Users/alotfi/PycharmProjects/firstProj/logging.py", line 1, in <module>
    import logging
  File "C:\Users\alotfi\PycharmProjects\firstProj\logging.py", line 2, in <module>
    logging.warning('Watch out!')
AttributeError: module 'logging' has no attribute 'warning'

Process finished with exit code 1

Thanks.

What do you mean by 'installing' logging? It's a module in the standard library included in a base install.... — Dan, Sep 29 '15 at 15:41
I have exactly the same error when running exactly the same examples. I have no idea why the error occurred. This question shouldn't be closed. It is very clear. Why the error occurred if it is standard library? — tomasz74, May 22 '16 at 18:58
you named your file `logging.py`, the interpreter is looking for an attribute `warning` in your file, not in the module you intended to import — Joey Baruch, May 14 '21 at 01:32

Logging is a standard package for python 3.5 this means that there is no reason to install it.

APDATED my question, if it's included why I got that error ? – user1034127 Sep 29 '15 at 16:46
always the same : AttributeError: module 'logging' has no attribute 'warn' – user1034127 Sep 29 '15 at 17:26

This answer explains nothing. The Logging module is a standard package and still running first example from documentation gives an error like logging wouldn't be installed. WHY? – tomasz74 May 22 '16 at 19:00

Well, the real answer seems to be quite simple: @user1034127, @tomasz74: The original poster seems to have saved his example script as `logging.py`. That's why it fails. Never give a script the same name as an existing module. If you `import logging`, you just import your own script. Give it another name and cheer up. – absurd Mar 07 '17 at 13:31
@absurd, you are completely right. answer seems odd is simply because author modified question after I posted my answer. – dmr Jun 02 '21 at 18:16
