Hardware: RPi4
Configuration: I ran pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-motorkit successfully.
Question: Why do I get an error message saying unable to import motorkit? Should I be running code from within python3 REPL or should I use, "python filename.py", from RPi term window?
Following the setup and examples found in tech specs of #2348 motor hat, I get the following message while running python3 REPL. I get a similiar message if I use python "file.py" to run the code from within the RPi term window.
Copied from my RPi term window:
pi@raspberrypi:~/Projects/RCTruck $ python3
Python 3.7.3 (default, Jan 22 2021, 20:04:44)
[GCC 8.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>>
>>> from adafruit_motorkit import Motorkit
Traceback (most recent call last):

Try MotorKit, not Motorkit.

Genius!
Can you tell me if I always need to use python3 REPL or can I use python to run scripts/programs directly from a RPi term window?
Thank you.
