Answer 1

I had a similar issue while working with Jupyter. I was trying to copy files from one directory to another using copy function of shutil. The problem was that I had forgotten to import the package.(Silly) But instead of python giving import error, it gave this error.

Solved by adding:

from shutil import copy
