AttributeError: partially initialized module 'xgboost' has no attribute 'DMatrix' (most likely due to a circular import)

[EvanGertis]

I am running into an issue using the xgboost classifer from adversarial robustness toolbox (ART).

AttributeError: partially initialized module 'xgboost' has no attribute 'DMatrix' (most likely due to a circular import)

clone the ART repo.
cd into the examples dir.
run the xgboost example
Expected behavior The program should print out the accuracy for the classification of the MNIST Model.

Actual Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/evangertis/development/PythonAutomation/ART_examples/xgboost.py", line 7, in import xgboost as xgb File "/Users/evangertis/development/PythonAutomation/ART_examples/xgboost.py", line 31, in dtrain = xgb.DMatrix(x_train, label=np.argmax(y_train, axis=1)) AttributeError: partially initialized module 'xgboost' has no attribute 'DMatrix' (most likely due to a circular import)
