title: AttributeError: partially initialized module 'face_recognition' has no attribute 'face_encodings'
body: <p>I am trying to make face recognition script in python with the help of below given link found on google.
  <a href="https://www.mygreatlearning.com/blog/face-recognition/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://www.mygreatlearning.com/blog/face-recognition/</a></p>
  <p>I have installed:</p>
  <ul>
  <li><strong>OpenCV</strong></li>
  <li><strong>dlib</strong> and</li>
  <li><strong>face_recognition</strong></li>
  </ul>
  <p>libraries.</p>
  <p>Also, installed Visual C++ for CMake.</p>
  <p>And now I am trying to &quot;extract features from Face&quot; using code given in above link.</p>
  <p>While running script, I am getting below error:</p>
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File &quot;C:\Users\ajay.arora2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\extract_features_from_face.py&quot;, line 2, in &lt;module&gt;
      import face_recognition
    File &quot;C:\Users\ajay.arora2\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\face_recognition.py&quot;, line 32, in &lt;module&gt;
      encodings = face_recognition.face_encodings(rgb)
  AttributeError: partially initialized module 'face_recognition' has no attribute 'face_encodings' (most likely due to a circular import)
  </code></pre>
  <p>I have tried re-installing face_recognition module.</p>
  <p>Please suggest any workaround.
  Thanks in advance.</p>
