How to fix module ‘pandas’ has no attribute ‘DataFrame’

When you are sure that the Pandas module is installed on your computer, you probably don’t know why the above error appears.

I know two different reasons why an attribute error appears:

The first problem may be a typo. Make sure you spelled the name of the function you want to use correctly. Remember that capitalization is also important. In my case, this was not the cause of the attribute error.

The second possible reason is the contents of the folder you are running. There must be no filename in it, which Pandas confuses. For example, the problem may occur when there is a file named pandas.py in the files folder. Rename the file to e.g. my_file.py to resolve the AttributeError.
