dicttoxml throws AttributeError

Question

I try to check how dicttoxml is working. But I receive this error from within the dicttoxml module. I am starting program from geany. Can anybody help? Thanks!

import dicttoxml

myDict = {'myKey':"theirValue"};

xml =dicttoxml.dicttoxml(myDict);

Output is:

martin@saturn:~/it/python/python_work$ /bin/sh /tmp/geany_run_script_Q2NH3Z.sh

1.6666666666666667
['1', '6666666666666667']

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "dicttoxmlExmp.py", line 4, in <module>
    xml =dicttoxml.dicttoxml(myDict);

I think you can simply run as `python yourscript`. It worked fine in my case. — R4444, Jun 15 '19 at 02:29
Sorry!!! I had a numbers.py file in the same directory, so dicttoxml took this one. Namespace issue... - How can I close this question or mark it as solved? — martinus, Jun 16 '19 at 16:33
You can mark the answer if you think that solved your problem — R4444, Jun 16 '19 at 17:42

You can simply do:

python yourscript

Instead of running it as a shell script.
