app name blog conflicts with name of an existing python module

When I run:

(blog-venv)vagrant@precise64:/vagrant/projects/microblog$ python manage.py startapp blog

I see:

Error: 'blog' conflicts with the name of an existing Python module and cannot be used as an app name. Please try another name.

Renaming the app as 'blog2' works AOK. Any idea whats going on?

That makes no sense at all, actually. Does your microblog directory already have a directory in it named 'blog'?

That is amazingly odd, then.
