Hey, how did you install trimesh? Have you tried running pip install --upgrade trimesh, or on a local checkout pip install -e .?

This can also happen if you run your script next to a folder named trimesh that doesn't contain the trimesh library.

Hi, thank you for the quick reply. I first tried pip install trimesh, and after that didn't work, I uninstalled it, and used pip install trimesh[easy]. The problem was first fixed when I rebooted my machine and ran Python from the shell. However, when I imported trimesh in my Python file as part of other modules, the error re-emerged.

Edit: Nevermind, I had a file called trimesh in my local folder. Deleting that file solved the problem.
