Can't import turtle on Mac OS Mojave (version 10.14.2)

Trying to simply import turtle to run some lines, but my macOS Mojave (version 10.14.2) can't run it.

Mac @ ~/Desktop - [master] $ python3 SquareSpiral1.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "SquareSpiral1.py", line 2, in <module>
    import turtle
  File "/Users/Mac/Desktop/turtle.py", line 1

You have somehow saved a file of Python output -- from a Windows computer! -- to a file named turtle.py on your desktop.

Delete or rename this file. It's conflicting with the turtle module built into Python.

The turtle module provides turtle graphics primitives, in both object-oriented and procedure-oriented ways. Because it uses tkinter for the underlying graphics, it needs a version of Python installed with Tk support.

Also, try this.

from turtle import Turtle
