python - Attribute error whenever I import matplotlib

Question

Everytime I import matplotlib into my python programs I get this error (here the program is just one line "import matplotlib.pyplot as plt"):

 Traceback (most recent call last):   
File "string.py", line 1, in <module>  
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt   
File "D:Other programsPython38libsite-packagesmatplotlib\__init__.py", line 94,
 in <module>      
 import logging   
File "D:Other programsPython38liblogging\__init__.py", line 28, in <module>

_log = logging.getLogger(__name__)   
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'logging' has no attribute 'getLogger' (most likely
 due to a circular import)

I cannot find any logging.py anywhere. Is this some sort of bug in the lates version of matplotlib?

Answer 1

your script D:programspythonstring.py, where you try to import matplotlib.pyplot as plt is named string.py and it interferes with string module from standard library. Rename that file.
