Reading this: https://ollama.ai/blog/python-javascript-libraries

Trying to perform the Python example errors on macOS and OEL9:

import ollama
response = ollama.chat(
    model="llama2",
    messages=[
        {
            "role": "user",
            "content": "Why is the sky blue?",
        },
    ],
)
print(response["message"]["content"])

error is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/my_name/repos/Python/ollama.py", line 1, in
import ollama
File "/home/my_name/repos/Python/ollama.py", line 3, in
response = ollama.chat(
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'ollama' has no attribute 'chat' (most likely due to a circular import)

Python version: 3.9.18

Ah! This may be because you named your python file ollama.py, and so it's creating a circular import. Try naming it example.py for example. Funny enough I did this too when trying to reproduce this issue before realizing 😊
