I'm getting circular import issue

[Gamma-Software]

Hey,
I started using the lib and look cool but I already faced the issue after importing the lib like so:

from telegram import Update
from telegram.ext import ApplicationBuilder, ContextTypes, CommandHandler

I got a circular import issue

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/mnt/data/workspace/ai_projects/playbooks/telegram.py", line 1, in <module>
    from telegram import Update
  File "/mnt/data/workspace/ai_projects/playbooks/telegram.py", line 1, in <module>
    from telegram import Update
ImportError: cannot import name 'Update' from partially initialized module 'telegram' (most likely due to a circular import) (/mnt/data/workspace/ai_projects/playbooks/telegram.py)

I'm using python 3.10 and whatever the lib version, it appears.

But I do have named the file telegram.py. That's it ! Sorry for the dumb discussion. I'll reguraly check the FAQ

I see, could you post the contents of the module you're trying to run? If it's short, you can do it here, otherwise you can use pastebin. Make sure you don't post your Bot token along with the code.

No need, the issue was I named the python file telegram.py
