    from withings import WithingsAuth, WithingsApi
ImportError: cannot import name WithingsAuth

withings is a module that was installed under Does somebody know how to fix this?

Apparently, when a ROS package has the same name as a python module, there is a conflict. Changing my packages's name to withings_pkg solved the problem.

I put my python script in the src folder. While generating srv headers, the python srv are automatically put on the withings/src/withings folder so if I try doing "from withing import" it will look on the local folder instead of the global libraries folder of python.
