@evan-hwang Hey there!

Firstly, there's never such a thing as "awful Python skill". It's all about learning and growing!

Regarding your issue, the way Python's import system works is by prioritizing the first occurrence it finds in sys.path list. So it is likely that your graphql module appears before the actual graphql module.

If you have trouble doing these, I'd recommend renaming your module. It's generally a good practice to avoid naming your modules/packages same as those of standard/most used libraries to avoid any clashes. Alternatively you can put you graphql module in a submodule, e.g. a folder structure of your_app_name/graphql and then run your_app_name

@SarthakNikhal I don't think there's anything to work on here from our side.

Eric, your exceptionally gracious responses have deeply touched me.

While I haven't fully comprehended the latter approach you mentioned, I have opted to change the name of my directory using the former method.

Thank you!
