object has no attribute 'query'

[Finch4]

I already know that this problem has already been solved, but the solution for me was not that.
-my .py file name isn't whois.py
-whois version 0.8
-installed with pip3 install whois

Code:
target = ('google.com')
n = whois.query(target)
print(n)

thanks for raising the issue report.

I used the following code using python 3.6 :

import whois

target = ('google.com')
n = whois.query(target)
print(n.__dict__)

and got

$ p x.py 
{'name': 'google.com', 'registrar': 'MarkMonitor Inc.', 'creation_date': datetime.datetime(1997, 9, 15, 4, 0), 'expiration_date': datetime.datetime(2020, 9, 14, 4, 0), 'last_updated': None, 'name_servers': {'ns2.google.com', 'ns3.google.com', 'ns1.google.com', 'ns4.google.com'}}

What version of python are you using?

[DannyCork]

fixed in https://pypi.org/project/whois/0.9.2/

Please do a $ pip install --upgrade whois
and report back.
Thanks.

Haven the same issue on -version 0.9.3
saying 'whois' has no attribute 'query'

Maybe you have an other python package with same import name. It's the case with the module python-whois which use the package name 'whois' too.

Try pip uninstall python-whois to check that

Try also to delete cache files : find . -name "*.pyc" -delete

Can confirm uninstalling python-whois did the trick for me, seems there was a conflict. Thanks!

Had the same problem, for some reason the name of file can't be whois.py
