Running this code:
import feedparser
Feed = feedparser.parse('http://www.reddit.com/r/python/.rss')
pointer = Feed.entries[1]
print (pointer.summary)
print (pointer.link)
I get this error:
AttributeError: partially initialized module 'feedparser' has no attribute '__version__' (most likely due to a circular import)
I'm using Idle on a Mac, but I get the same error running in Terminal.
I cannot reproduce your symptom.
Using feedparser 6.0.10 under cPython 3.10.8 and macos 12.6.2 your 1st print says:

Use $ python -m site to verify that sys.path
points to where you think it should,
and that you've installed just a single feedparser
library there. Consider nuking your venv and
doing pip installs from scratch.
It is possible that you showed us just an excerpt
from a larger codebase. Read your posted question
and try to reproduce the symptom -- copy-n-paste
those few lines of code into a new file and run that.
Or use example code from
the docs,
which is very similar.
It sounds like your install can't even support
$ python -c 'import feedparser' yet.
. dot is in your PYTHONPATH env var, then the value of os.getcwd() is relevant. And sys.path controls the behavior of import. In each environment, write sys.path out to a text file. Compare those files, perhaps using $ diff -u. Post your analysis.
$ which python to understand where the interpreter is coming from. Often there's more than one interpreter, each with its own set of installed importable libraries. I reported this triple to you: (feedparser 6.0.10, cPython 3.10.8, macos 12.6.2). Report the same triple for both environments, one working and one broken. I used conda with the pip install, so I obtained "6.0.10" from $ conda list | grep feedparser. Sometimes I will use poetry: $ poetry show | grep .... Maybe you're looking for $ pip list | grep .... Verify that .../python3.10/site-packages has what you expect.
feedparser.py? Don't use the same name as a library module.
