Unable to get up and running with TextBlob

pip, python, textblob

Solution

As Blender pointed out in his comments above, my problem was with a text.py file in the same directory that I was trying to run TextBlob. The deletion of this file led to the fixture of my issue.

Thank you Blender.

Problem

This morning I set out to install the TextBlob module found at https://textblob.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html Per the installation documentation I first ran: `pip install -U textblob` Now if I run that command I get the following: ``` Requirement already up-to-date: textblob in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/textblob-0.5.0-py2.7.egg Requirement already up-to-date: PyYAML in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (from textblob) Cleaning up... ``` While it would appear to be installed, when I try to run a one line file (wherein the only line is `from text.blob import TextBlob` I am told `ImportError: No module named blob` So then I tried to install from git, first I cloned the repository and then I ran both of the following snippets `sudo python setup.py install` and `sudo python2.7 setup.py install` Unfortunately neither one of those commands solved my issue. So now im stuck. I suppose the best course of action is to start over but im pretty much lost.
