AttributeError: module 'thingspeak' has no attribute 'Channel' channel = thingspeak​.Channel(i​d=channel_​id, api_key=key)

In the example raspberry pi py script, which was working fine, now i am getting this error. Cant find any sililar issues on the net... any ideas peeps?

import thingspeak
import time

channel_id = 1231234 # PUT CHANNEL ID HERE
key  = '123123123123' # PUT YOUR WRITE KEY HERE
pin = 4

def measure(channel):
    try:
        # write
        response = channel.update({'field1': 2, 'field2': 1})

        # read
        read = channel.get({})
        print("Read:", read)

    except:
        print("connection failed")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    channel = thingspeak.Channel(id=channel_id, api_key=key)
    while True:
        measure(channel)
        # free account has an api limit of 15sec
        time.sleep(15)

Did you upgrade python or any of the libraries? Perhaps you introduced an incompatibility by doing so?

I dont think so, no idea what happended but have ditched 3 methods i found on the net for uploading data to thingspeak so far with no working. I have this working though -
