Try deleting the directory .../nmap/ with contained files, and install the new the packages nmap or bypython setup.py install at new packages directory.

This should do!

Answer 1

As I can see in the error log that the name of your python file is nmap.py. There's a chance that this name is conflicting with the python module. Try changing the name and see if it works.
