Customtkinter import bug?

Python Help
1

Hey so I was just working with customtkinter yesterday and everything worked fine, I saved the file and went to sleep, This morning i woke up and ran the file and i get this error

C:\Users\removed>C:/Users/removed/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python312/python.exe c:/Usersremoved/CustomTkInter.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\Users\removed\CustomTkInter.py", line 1, in <module>
    import customtkinter
  File "C:\Users\removed\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\customtkinter\__init__.py", line 5, in <module>
    from tkinter import Variable, StringVar, IntVar, DoubleVar, BooleanVar
ImportError: cannot import name 'Variable' from 'tkinter' (c:\Users\REMOVED\tkinter.py)

( PS i removed my name from the error message that’s why you will see “removed”. )
I’ve tried reinstalling customtkinter and it doesn’t work.
Im not sure what’s happening, Here’s the code if anyone could help me out here!

import customtkinter
customtkinter.set_appearance_mode("System")
customtkinter.set_default_color_theme("green")


root = customtkinter.CTk()

root.geometry("600x600")

def login():
    label2 = customtkinter.CTkLabel(master=frame, text="Successfully logged in..")
    label2.pack(pady=12, padx=10)


frame = customtkinter.CTkFrame(master=root)
frame.pack(pady=20, padx=60, fill="both", expand=True)

label = customtkinter.CTkLabel(master=frame, text="Login System", font=("System", 24))
label.pack(pady=12, padx=10)

entry1 =  customtkinter.CTkEntry(master=frame, placeholder_text="Username",fg_color="#292828")
entry1.pack(pady=12, padx=10)

entry2 =  customtkinter.CTkEntry(master=frame, placeholder_text="Password", show="*",fg_color="#292828")
entry2.pack(pady=12, padx=10)

button = customtkinter.CTkButton(master=frame, text="login", command=login)
button.pack(pady=12, padx=10)

checkbox = customtkinter.CTkCheckBox(master=frame, text="Remember Me")
checkbox.pack(pady=12, padx=10)

root.mainloop()

Ps this doesnt work with anything that uses customtkinter, I removed all the buttons, frames etc and had a blank customtkinter project and i still get this error.

This line is the clue:

 ImportError: cannot import name 'Variable' from 'tkinter' (c:\Users\REMOVED\tkinter.py)

It’s talking about your own source file! Not the stdlib tkinter.py
file.

Rename your source file so that it does not conflict with the tkinter
package name.

When you run a script, the directory holding the script is put at the
front of the Python module search path. This makes it easy to import
other .py files you’ve got in with your script, but also makes your
filenames shadow (hide) the stdlib filenames.

Rename the source file as in rename the file name from tkinter.py → something else?
If that’s what you meant i tried it and still get an error.

EDIT: Sorry it works! I had to run the files through terminal and then try again in the code editor. ( I honestly don’t know why this worked but it did. )
Thanks for helping me!!
