Sagemaker python sdk installation troubles

Question

Hi,  
  
I've tried following a tutorial to use AWS sagemaker in script mode from my local linux VM, but I can't even get the basics working.  
  
Steps:  
- ➜  ~> python3 --version  
Python 3.6.9  
  
- ➜  ~> pip3 install sagemaker  
...  
Successfully installed boto3-1.14.42 botocore-1.17.42 importlib-metadata-1.7.0 packaging-20.4 protobuf3-to  
-dict-0.1.5 s3transfer-0.3.3 sagemaker-2.3.0 smdebug-rulesconfig-0.1.4 zipp-3.1.0  
  
➜  ~> cat sagemaker.py  
import sagemaker  
import boto3  
  
sess = sagemaker.Session()  
  
➜  ~> python3 sagemaker.py  
Traceback (most recent call last):  
  File "sagemaker.py", line 1, in   
    import sagemaker  
  File "~/sagemaker.py", line 4, in   
    sess = sagemaker.Session()  
AttributeError: module 'sagemaker' has no attribute 'Session'  
  
I also have the aws cli (version 2) installed, and configured using IAM credentials that have full rights, so that's not related.  
  
What is the problem with my python sdk install? TIA

Accepted Answer

You should name your script something else than sagemaker.py, since python will look in the current directory first for a module when doing an import, so the import sagemaker will not import the Sagemaker SDK, but your script.

Well, that one is for my list of top 10 most stupid programming things I've ever done... Thanks!
