I am studying the sympy package with Python 3.7, but not even the simplest code does compile. Here is my entire code:

import sympy as sy

x = sy.symbols('x')
sy.expand((x+1)**3)

and the error message I get is

AttributeError: module 'sympy' has no attribute 'symbols'

What can I do?

This works as-is on python 3, maybe you are on python 2 (unsure if there is a difference)? Maybe you could relaunch your interpreter? Maybe you have tabs mixed with space? – Reblochon Masque Sep 14 '19 at 08:19

this is not a problem with sympy. Do you have a python file named sympy.py in the same working directory maybe? – Paritosh Singh Sep 14 '19 at 08:23
Yup, just changed the name and now it works. Thank you very much @ParitoshSingh – crazydecibel Sep 14 '19 at 08:27
