Do you have a file in your working directory which is called shodan.py? If yes, rename it to something else, it must not clash with module names

Because I hacked into your computer ;)

That's a very common error, you'll find lot's of these reports all over the internet, concerning different libraries. Please close the issue if that's now solved, thanks.
