Guidelines need to be change from the example mentioning to write

import analytics

This clashes with python's standard library module also called analytics, and seems to be causing an issue on segment analytics 2.2.1 & Python 3.9.7

Instead, guidelines should be to use

import segment.analytics as analytics

Just caused an issue on production build for our application

Hey @nd4p90x @MichaelGHSeg ! Just realized that this can be rewritten more easily as

from segment import analytics

which makes more sense even 😅 sorry about that!
