Did you name your file OpenGL.py?

yes

Do you know that naming your file OpenGL.py is bad and the cause of your error?

so i importing opengl but machine think i mean import opengl.py?

When Python executes this in your program:

import OpenGL.GL

It searches the python path for "OpenGL.py". This should be found in a folder that was added to your "python311/Lib/site-packages" (or whatever version of Python or whatever virtual environment you are using) folder when you ran pip install. But before it looks in "python311/Lib/site-packages" in looks for the OpenGL.py in the current working directory, usually the same directory as the program you are running. If it finds the file there, it imports that file, not the package you installed using pip.

If you want to use OpenGL, you should not create any files named OpenGL.py. You can use "Open_GL.py" or "opengl_test.py" or any name that does not match the name of modules you import in your program.
