Curses returning AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'initscr'

I am following the Curses programming HowTo on the Python site, but I am running into a rather bizarre issue. My code is currently very short, doesn't actually do anything because of this error, I haven't been able to move on. Here's my code: ``` import curses #from curses import wrapper stdscr = curses.initscr() curses.noecho() curses.cbreak() stdscr.keypad(True) def main(stdscr): begin_x = 20; begin_y = 7 height = 5; width = 40 win = curses.newwin(height, width, begin_y, begin_x) stdscr.refresh() stdscr.getkey() if __name__ == '__main__': wrapper(main) ``` and the Traceback: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "curses.py", line 1, in <module> import curses File "/home/nate/Documents/Programming/Python/curses.py", line 4, in <module> stdscr = curses.initscr() AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'initscr' ``` I commented out the `from curses import wrapper` because that was giving me another error, ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "curses.py", line 1, in <module> import curses File "/home/nate/Documents/Programming/Python/curses.py", line 2, in <module> from curses import wrapper ImportError: cannot import name wrapper ``` but I suppose that would be another question. I am following the tutorial word for word right now, to learn curses, but currently the only thing it's making me do is use curses directed at Python :P. I am running Python 3.3.2 on Ubuntu 13.10, so this question has nothing to do with this, as he was using Windows and I am not (thankfully :D) Why am I not able to do this? I'm copying it directly from the Python site, so you'd think it would work!
