I needed to use the dotenv module in Python. I tried the usual <\/p>\n

pip install dotenv<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Wohoo! I was able to import dotenv without any trouble. It was easy enough to install. Python is so intuitive, right? Well, not in this one case. When I ran my script, I kept getting the error:<\/p>\n

dotenv.load_dotenv(os.path.join(MY_CURRENT_PATH,’.env’))
\nAttributeError: ‘module’ object has no attribute ‘load_dotenv’<\/strong>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eh? dotenv imports fine. So what could the issue be? I launched the Python interpreter and did <\/p>\n

import dotenv
\nhelp(dotenv)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

pip uninstall dotenv
\npip install python-dotenv\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
