just learning a few modules in python from python 3 module of the week. When I was trying the module textwrap

import textwrap

sample_text = '''
    The textwrap module can be used to format text for output in
    situations where pretty-printing is desired.  It offers
    programmatic functionality similar to the paragraph wrapping
    or filling features found in many text editors.
    '''

textwrap.fill(sample_text, width=70)

it says: module 'textwrap' has no attribute 'fill'

tried

dedented_text = textwrap.dedent(sample_text)
print('Dedented:')
print(dedented_text)

it also says module 'textwrap' has no attribute 'dedent'

how come? I am using python 3.6

Is your script named `textwrap.py` perhaps? – Martijn Pieters Oct 03 '17 at 21:30
