turtle python on mac

I'm learning Python on a Mac and I am initiating the program through Terminal. I'm trying to save all of the code through my text editor Sublime but unfortunately I'm having issues importing Turtle.

I start by putting:

import Turtle
turtle.showturtle()

in Sublime but I get an error:

Gabriels-Air:Desktop gabrielmendez$ python intro.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "intro.py", line 38, in <module>
import Turtle
ImportError: No module named Turtle

My file is named intro.py and I did change the directory to my desktop since that's where my file is at. I've used Turtle straight on the terminal but I want to be able to keep the code. I've looked online and I can't find my answer. Any help please?

Python is case-sensitive.

Python reads

import Turtle

as you trying to import functions from Turtle.py. However, the module in python is lowercase, so use this line:

import turtle
