Cannot import name 'constant' from partially initialized module 'tensorflow.python.framework.constant_op'

Question

I've installed tensorflow and keras in a virtual environment, but when I try to run from tensorflow.keras.models import load_model I get the following error:

from tensorflow.python.framework.constant_op import constant
ImportError: cannot import name 'constant' from partially initialized module 'tensorflow.python.framework.constant_op' (most likely due to a circular import) (/Users/Gabriel/Development/Projects/Keras-FaceNet_demo/lib/python3.8/site-packages/tensorflow/python/framework/constant_op.py)

I'm running tensorflow version 2.4.0 and Keras 2.4.3 and python 3.8.7

I've uninstalled and reinstalled both tensorflow and keras, but still no chance! Any idea how I can find what's causing this issue?

P.S. This is the full error message:

code.py is already defined in python packages. Hence after renaming code.py file to something other name has resolved the problem (paraphrased from Macattack).
