Kafka-python errore

[alimajed92]

I'm encountering an issue with importing KafkaProducer from the kafka module. Here's the code I'm using:

from kafka import KafkaProducer

The error message I'm receiving is: "cannot import name 'KafkaProducer' from partially initialized module 'kafka' (most likely due to a circular import)".

I'm running Kafka on Docker, and it's functioning properly. My goal is simply to send messages from my Python file to Kafka.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the kafka-python library, but I'm still having the same error.

Thanks for the help!

The issue stemmed from the naming of my Python file, which coincidentally was named kafka.py. To resolve this, I renamed the file to something else.

After resolving the naming conflict, I encountered another error: "No module named 'kafka.vendor.six.moves'". The solution to this error was to uninstall kafka-python and install kafka-python-ng.
