ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.locals'; 'pygame' is not a package

So this problem is a bit strange for me. I wrote this piece of code to see if pygame works correctly.

import pygame,sys
from pygame.locals import *

pygame.init()
DISPLAYSURF = pygame.display.set_mode((400,300))
pygame.display.set_caption("Hello World")
while True:
    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == QUIT:
            pygame.quit()
            sys.exit()

    pygame.display.update()

I saved this file as pygame.py and when I typed:

-python pygame.py

on the cmd it says:

 ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pygame.locals'; 'pygame' is not a package

And if I type -python to the shell and then type import pygame it works like a charm.

So In summary: If I want to execute pygame.py, it does not see the module, but it sees the module after typing python and import pygame (works without error).

The operating system is Windows.

Naming the file pygame.py makes the computer think of the file when importing, not the package. That is why it says pygame is not a package because pygame is the file.
