"ImportError: cannot import name 'Presentation'" in python.

After installing pptx on python and running the following sample

 from pptx import Presentation

prs=Presentation()
title_slide_layout=prs.slide_layouts[0]
slide=prs.slides.add_slide(title_slide_layout)
title=slide.shapes.title
title=slide.placeholders[1]

title.text="Hello, World!"
title.text="python-pptx was here!"

prs.save('test.pptx')

The following error occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py", line 1, in <module>
    from pptx import Presentation
  File "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py", line 1, in <module>

If you have saved the sample you are trying to run under the filename pptx.py, remove pptpx.py and pptx.pyc from Desktop\pyhon\.

from pptx import presentation is probably an error because the from pptx points to the sample code itself.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py", line 1, in
from pptx import Presentation
File "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py", line 1, in
from pptx import Presentation
ImportError: cannot import name 'Presentation'

The error message indicates that "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py" does not contain 'Presentation'.

Installed
not "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py" If you set it to import from "c:\users\XXXX\appdata\local\continuum\anaconda3\lib\site-packages\python-pptx", it will be solved.
(All you need to do is delete the file "C:\Users\XXXX\Desktop\python\pptx.py")
