I tried using a package called wikipedia (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wikipedia/) and when I run the following code:

import wikipedia

print wikipedia.search("Barack Obama")

I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ".\wiki.py", line 1, in <module>
    import wikipedia
  File "C:\Users\barkayshahar\Documents\Programming\AI\wikipedia.py", line 4, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'search'

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

If you have any files in your current working directory named `wikipedia.py`, delete or rename them. – Kevin Mar 20 '17 at 18:21
