Attribute Error using the webbrowser module

Question

I wrote this simple code and saved it as a .py file:

import webbrowser
webbrowser.open('https://school.bighistoryproject.com/bhplive')

However when I run it I get the following error:

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'webbrowser' has no attribute 'open' (most likely due to a circular import)

I know the code technically works because if I type each line individually in the Shell it works! What is going on?

Thanks

If your file is named webbrowser.py that will cause an AttributeError because it tries to import your file, instead of the module.
