I was trying to deploy my Dash app through Pythonanywhere. I installed Dash and Plotly in the virtual environment and followed this instruction: [https://csyhuang.github.io/2018/06/24/set-up-dash-app-on-pythonanywhere/](https://csyhuang.github.io/2018/06/24/set-up-dash-app-on-pythonanywhere/). However, I got the following error message when I tried to run the app:

Please give me advice. Thanks!

It looks like you have a file called `dash.py` which could be causing some problems with your import statements. Try renaming the file and see if that helps?
