How can I solve this Python error : ImportError cannot import name KafkaProducer

I have a very strange problem. I wrote a spark streaming job that monitor an HDFS directory, reads the newly added files, and send the file content to Kafka.

When submitting the job I got that error

ImportError: cannot import name KafkaProducer

While the error is very simple, it is weird because I could import KafkaProducer using python and pyspark shells without any problem.

I tried to reboot the machine but the situation still the same.

You can check the code of the spark streaming job from here

Does anyone here have any idea about this problem?
