ImportError: cannot import name 'Frame' from partially initialized module 'tkinter'

I'm an absolute beginner in Python and I'm just trying to follow the steps in a youtube video tutorial on building a python GUI https://youtu.be/jE-SpRI3K5g

I just wrote this so far:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter import filedialog, Text
import os

root = tk.Tk()
root.mainloop()

But I can't proceed with the tutorial as I keep getting this error

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\User\Documents\Python\TEST2\main.py", line 1, in <module>
    import tkinter as tk
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\tkinter\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    from tkinter import messagebox
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\tkinter\messagebox.py", line 25, in <module>
    from tkinter.commondialog import Dialog
  File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\tkinter\commondialog.py", line 13, in <module>
    from tkinter import Frame
ImportError: cannot import name 'Frame' from partially initialized module 'tkinter' (most likely due to a circular import) (C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\tkinter\__init__.py)

I'm trying to learn python from scratch, so please try to explain as simple as possible. Thank you so much!!

Apparently, I fixed everything by completely uninstalling everything and installing everything related to python again. I don't know what caused the problem but it's now fixed.
