problem with datetime

[bncarper]

Relatively new to python. I can get the following to work from the
command line:

Python 2.3.4 (#2, Aug 18 2004, 21:49:15)
[GCC 3.2] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright" , "credits" or "license" for more information.

import datetime
d = datetime.dateti me.today()
d datetime.dateti me(2004, 12, 10, 6, 13, 28, 154472)

But when I try to run the following small program I get the following
results:

import datetime
d = datetime.dateti me.today()
print d

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "datetime.p y", line 1, in ?
import datetime
File "/home/bob/pyshow/datetime.py", line 3, in ?
d = datetime.dateti me.today()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'today'

Do I need to change a path?
Running python 2.3.4 on linux redhat 7.3.

^^^^^^^^^^^

Change your script's name from datetime.py to something else. Otherwise the
script will import itself, and not the datetime module from the standard
library.

Thanks. That did it. And I know better than to use the module name.
