Boto3: module 'boto3' has no attribute 'Session'

When I try to use boto3 session like this

import boto3
session = boto3.Session(profile_name='my-profile')

I am getting the following error

AttributeError: module 'boto3' has no attribute 'Session'

Seems like I can't do anything with boto3 anymore. Tried re-installing botocore and boto3.

The problem was that I had a file named random.py and it apparently conflicts with something.
