Hi Amit,

There are some subtle and important differences:

import Bio
print Bio.__file__
print Bio.__version__

Those are all double underscores, and also there
should be a dot between the Bio and __version__.
You'll find double underscores are used in Python
for some special functions (which normally you won't
need to worry about).

The good news is the simple import seemed to
work - so if you can try again that will help answer
your original question about this failing:

from Bio.Seq import Seq

Right now my guess would be a broken install, or
you've got a file in the current directory called Bio.py
which is being imported instead of Biopython.

Regards,

Peter
