On new installation of Raspian Bullseye, Roboflowoak causes this error:

ted@raspberrypi:~/depthai $ python3 /home/ted/Herbie_Bot/Herbieai.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “/home/ted/Herbie_Bot/Herbieai.py”, line 1, in
from roboflowoak import RoboflowOak
File “/home/ted/Herbie_Bot/roboflowoak.py”, line 1, in
from roboflowoak import RoboflowOak
ImportError: cannot import name ‘RoboflowOak’ from partially initialized module ‘roboflowoak’ (most likely due to a circular import) (/home/ted/Herbie_Bot/roboflowoak.py)

I figured it out! One of my files in the same directory was named “roboflowoak.py” and the routine was trying to use that instead of the proper Python library that came with the roboflowoak.py module. Just rename the offending file, and, poof, she works. Very slick!
