## The problem
Issue serpapi/google-search-results-python#42 (closed, 5 comments): The first line of your code example: from serpapi import GoogleSearch [here](https://serpapi.com/blog/using-google-maps-local-results-from-serpapi/#fullcode) gives me AttributeError: partially initialized module 'serpapi' has no attribute 'GoogleSearch' (most likely due to a circular import)

## What to do
If you get "partially initialized module 'serpapi' has no attribute 'GoogleSearch' (most likely due to a circular import)", check whether your own script is named serpapi.py. A local file with the same name shadows the installed package and causes exactly this error. Rename your script.
