How to Fix : “ImportError: Cannot import name X” in Python?

You can solve the “ImportError: Cannot import name X” Error by resolving the circular dependencies. You can do that either by eliminating the usage of from x import y form of importing contents from a module and simply using the import statement to import the entire module. Another workaround to this error is to change the position of the import statements accordingly within your code.

Hi Sir!

The video was really helpful and had something new for me to learn.

My problem is slightly different. My VS code keeps underlining the statement "import dateutil.parser" even though I installed the "python-dateutil" package. It shows the following error:
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'dateutil'
Kindly guide what might I do to fix this error?
Thank you!!

Sir, Thanks for your explaining. Clear and simple for a beginner like me.
However, I encounter an error which says "ImportError: cannot import name 'builder' from 'google.protobuf.internal' (C:\Users\... my file path)"
May I know how do I solve this? If you have any link to solve this please share with me. Thanks.

FIRST THING TO DO: Check if you the module you refer to really contains the method you are trying to import. I just made a typo when copy/pasting, and spent an hour to fix it by merely correcting the module name.

I have this problem "cannot import name 'ENGINES' from 'graphviz.backend" when I try to import grpahviz. I dont know what I'm doing wrong but somethning isnt right. I tried your solution but it didnt help. Do you have another way?

Not every import error is a circular dependency.
As a matter of fact, being faced with this like it's the answer to every import error is starting to annoy me.
Disliked because you were too scummy (or stupid?) to put 'circular dependency' in the title, and reported for being misleading.
