module 'qrcode' has no attribute 'make'

Question

While integrating python library qrcode==6.1 with django==3.1.2.
I have been trying to generate a qrcode which will contain the URL links for my other websites.

Models.py

from django.db import models
import qrcode
from io import BytesIO
from django.core.files import File
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

# Create your models here.

class Website(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=200)
    qr_code = models.ImageField(upload_to='qr_codes', blank=True)

    def __str__(self):
        return str(self.name)
    
    def save(self, *args, **kwargs):
        qrcode_img = qrcode.make(self.name)
        canvas = Image.new('RGB', (290,290), 'white')
        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(canvas)
        canvas.paste(qrcode_img)
        fname = f'qr_code_{self.name}.png'
        buffer = BytesIO()
        canvas.save(buffer,'PNG')
        self.qr_code.save(fname, File(buffer), save=False)
        canvas.close()
        super().save(*args, **kwargs)

But It always display an error saying that module ‘qrcode’ doesnot contain any attribute named ‘make()’. I want to know how to resolve this?

Make sure there are not any files named qrcode.py in the directory where models.py is located.

@Abhigyan Jaiswal’s response is spot on and it did work for me.

I was trying to import qrcode as a module while my script was also named qrcode.py. I simply renamed qrcode.py to qrcodegen.py and it worked.
