AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'square'

Question

I want to use the NLTK-PorterStemmer to find the stems of some words i wrote in a .txt-document, but always get the same Error message. It seems that there is something wrong with the import of the Stemmer. I updated nltk, numpy and matplotlib and using Python 3.5.1 Code begins with:

from nltk.stem.porter import PorterStemmer
from nltk.corpus import Words

and i already get the Error:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'square'

But i dont use matplotlib or numpy in my further code. Why does it import all these things?

What happens when you do `import.numpy as np` by itself on the command line? Also, `from numpy import square` and `from matplotlib import cbook`? — Mad Physicist, Nov 15 '17 at 16:08
Do you have a file named ``numpy.py`` in your current directory? — jakevdp, Nov 15 '17 at 22:39
This looks like the same problem as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52470247/attribute-error-module-numoy-has-no-attribute-square-is-still-not-resolve, except the problem file is "pickle.py" instead of "random.py". — Warren Weckesser, Sep 28 '18 at 01:28

I encountered similar problems. As the comment mentioned, some files with invalid names in the same folder will cause this problem. My case is I have a

threading.py

file in the folder.
