Hello everyone:
The scenario/observation:
Beginners sometimes create scripts with the name of a package e.g.
pandas.py or seaborn.py in order to test something.
There's a previous discussion about preventing importing a file into
itself. It's a common beginner mistake: "I want to try out the random
module, I will name my test program random.py". Then they get a
baffling error: "AttributeError: module 'random' has no attribute
'shuffle'". If we make the actual error more apparent ("ImportError:
module 'random' imported itself"), we might nip this error in the bud.
