ImportError: Cannot import name httputil

Question

I hava two different files: data_source and util. I import util at data_source like this:

from util import HttpUtil

But there is some error when I run

from util import HttpUtil

ImportError: cannot import name HttpUtil

How can I solve this?

This is the directory structure of the module: enter image description here

In util

 class HttpUtil(object):

   @staticmethod   
   def request(host, port, method):

In data_source

import json  
import urllib   
import time   
from util import HttpUtil

Could you please provide more information about the contents of the file? I am assuming `data_source` is the script where you want to import `util`. Is util your personal module? Could you share the directory structure of the module? Have you installed it using `pip`? — jar, Oct 09 '18 at 06:20
@raj, **HttpUtil** is not in my **init** file. But I try to import util in **init** file, the error still happens. — SeaBiscuit, Oct 09 '18 at 10:23
Did you install this module by going inside and doing `pip install .` — jar, Oct 09 '18 at 10:33
Can you import `util` directly: `import util`? You may be importing other `util` (it's really common module) which does not contain `HttpUtil`. Can you change the name of `util` to `util2` and check? — Eypros, Oct 09 '18 at 13:40
@Eypros Thanks you very much, when I change the name of _util_ to _util2_, there is no error. Thanks again. — SeaBiscuit, Oct 12 '18 at 02:19

Do check if there really exists a HttpUtil function defined in utils. For instance, do watch out for spelling or casing errors.
Post the .py files for reference, in case the error persists.

tks. I post more **.py** files – SeaBiscuit Oct 09 '18 at 09:38
Is there an `__init__.py` in your directory? [This](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/448271/what-is-init-py-for) might be of help otherwise. – backtothemoon Oct 09 '18 at 09:59
There is **__init__.py** in my directory – SeaBiscuit Oct 09 '18 at 10:19
