Additional Information
A name collision results because of a datetime module import in arcpy. Use an alias when importing the datetime class, such as 'from datetime import datetime as dt'.Workaround
- Run the script again after seeing the error.
- No error is returned with the second run.
- List 'import arcpy' before 'from datetime import datetime'. No error is returned.
