speedtest module in python

Question

i'm trying to use the speedtest module in python, i run "pip install speedtest-cli" as admin from command prompt, it works in the command prompt and gives me the results when running "speedtest-cli" But in PyCharm it wont work, this is what I have

import speedtest

st = speedtest.Speedtest()
st.get_best_server()

ping = st.results.ping
download = st.download()
upload = st.upload()

and in console I get this:

File "C:/Users/utente/PycharmProjects/try/sptest.py", line 3, in <module>
    st = speedtest.Speedtest()
AttributeError: module 'speedtest' has no attribute 'Speedtest'

how can i solve this??

Are there any file named `speedtest.py` in your folder? – Olvin Roght Nov 24 '20 at 16:14 — Olvin Roght, Nov 24 '20 at 16:14

For some reason the speedtest package is empty. You need to install speedtest-cli instead. So,

pip install speedtest-cli

From you there you can do:

import speedtest
s = speedtest.Speedtest()

Use -

import speedtest as speedtest

Then Your Code Should Work.

Other Solution-(not recommended) Except using

speedtest.Speedtest()

use only

Speedtest()

I tried both ways and it wont work! Are there other modules i could try to get ping, upload and download speed? – TommiRkB Nov 25 '20 at 18:35
The error is attribute error so the module is completely imported. So check out the function names are they correct – Yeshwin Verma Nov 26 '20 at 15:34
