Python 3.12.2 Cannot import ollama

[Ray0907]

I attempted to utilize the example, but encountered some errors as follows.
Python 3.12.2 (main, Feb 6 2024, 20:19:44) [Clang 15.0.0 (clang-1500.1.0.2.5)] on darwin

import ollama
from ollama import create
ImportError: cannot import name 'create' from partially initialized module 'ollama' (most likely due to a circular import)

@Ray0907 rename your file from ollama.py to something different like test.py. It helped me. also keep in mind you need to install ollama with pip
pip3 install ollama

The ollama python api takes much longer time than ollama command line.
why is that?
