AttributeError: module 'backtrader' has no attribute 'Cerebro'


  • Initially it was working fine, all of sudden it is raising issue ...now trying on example code but the same error

    from datetime import datetime
    import backtrader as bt

    class SmaCross(bt.SignalStrategy):
    def init(self):
    sma1, sma2 = bt.ind.SMA(period=10), bt.ind.SMA(period=30)
    crossover = bt.ind.CrossOver(sma1, sma2)
    self.signal_add(bt.SIGNAL_LONG, crossover)

    cerebro = bt.Cerebro()
    cerebro.addstrategy(SmaCross)

    data0 = bt.feeds.YahooFinanceData(dataname='MSFT', fromdate=datetime(2011, 1, 1),
    todate=datetime(2012, 12, 31))
    cerebro.adddata(data0)

    cerebro.run()
    cerebro.plot()

    Your module has the same name as something which Python internals are trying to import. I actually fear you have misplaced things, but the safest bet: rename your script.
