# write the measurement
ifclient.write_points(body)

for supporting python v3 I had to update this item #!/usr/bin/env python

to #!/usr/bin/env python3

maybe add a comment?

Hey,

i always get the following error when running the script. I run the script with sudo ./speedtest.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./speedtest.py", line 4, in <module>
    import speedtest
  File "/home/pi/speedtest.py", line 19, in <module>
    s = speedtest.Speedtest()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'Speedtest'

I have followed the instructions so far.

My Python version is 2.7.16
Hardware: RPi 2 with Debian Buster

Cheers
Jonas

If I wanted to specify a server to use in the python script (an ID that shows from the 'speedtest-cli --list' command) - How would I go about adding that into the code?

j-n-s-k-n-r, do not name your script the same name as an imported module. Otherwise, instead of importing the speedtest module, it will import the .py file.

In short, just name speedtest.py to something else.
