python program can't run in cmd

Question

there is a python programe in c:\workspace\trutle.py,
i can run it in the python command line console,
when i open a cmd window, input python c:\workspace\trutle.py,
i get the wrong output

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "c:\workspace\turtle.py", line 1, in <module>  
    import turtle
  File "c:\workspace\turtle.py", line 3, in <module>  
    turtle.speed(1)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'speed'

what is the reason? how to solve it?

import turtle
from random import randint
turtle.speed(1)
turtle.color("grey")
x=-80
for y in range(-80,80+1,10):
    turtle.penup()
    turtle.goto(x,y)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.forward(160)


y=80
turtle.right(90)
for x in range(-80,80+1,10):
    turtle.penup()
    turtle.goto(x,y)
    turtle.pendown()
    turtle.forward(160

Is your file named turtle.py or trutle.py? If it's named turtle, then when you do import turtle it will try to import itself. Name it something else besides a standard lib name. — BrenBarn

Rename the turtle.py. Otherwise it prevent importing the turtle module.

Make sure to delete turtle.pyc generated.

Just change the filename turtle.py to some other name.This may block the functionality of the default method.
