Telethon: ImportError: cannot import name 'TelegramClient'

Hello, I have just tried to setup a client but i’m receiving an import error: ImportError: cannot import name 'TelegramClient'

I installed telethon module with pip3 and tried to run the script with python 3. Is there something I’m missing here?

Thank you in advance!

The error occurs because the file has the same name of package (telethon)
