This isn't a absl specific issue, but:

Note that import logging tries to import /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/logging.py, instead of Python's standard logging module

You likely have '' in your sys.path before the standard modules, and /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/ is your current directory. Can you rename /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/logging.py to something else?

Looks like you are using https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech?

I checked DeepSpeech's code, /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/logging.py seems to match https://github.com/mozilla/DeepSpeech/blob/master/util/logging.py, but the file is located inside the util directory.

I'm not sure where /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/logging.py comes from, do you have /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/util/logging.py exists? What if you remove /home/sehar/DeepSpeech/logging.py, or move the file to the util directory?

What if you delete /home/sehar/DeepSpeech and re-install it?

This error maybe comes when you run your DeepSpeech.py script with sudo command.
if you are using sudo for running you should use sudo to install the modules.
Try the 'sudo python -m pip install absl-py' instead of pip installed absl-py.
