How do I import fernet?

I am relatively new to python and am following this tutorial on encrypting strings and files in python: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8t4DJ3Tdrg

I have downloaded pip, but when I try to generate a key, using this code:

from cryptography.fernet import fernet

key - Fernet.generate_key()
print (key)

I get the following error in terminal: 

File "randomkey.py", line 1, in <module>
    from cryptography.fernet import fernet
ImportError: cannot import name fernet

How do I fix this? Thanks

There is a typo.

The class name is Fernet with capital F.

from cryptography.fernet import Fernet
