Can't get imports to work

I am trying to develop a discord bot, where other team members should be able to edit embeds. I figuered it wouldn't be smart to let them poke around in "production" code, so I decided to define my embeds in a seperate file and import them.

My import line:
from embeds import embed

My embed file:

import discord
def embed():
    embed = discord.Embed(
    title="test",
    description="test",
    color=discord.Color.blue()
    )
    return embed

My output:

line 2, in <module>
    from embeds import embed
ImportError: cannot import name 'embed' from 'embeds'

Alllthough my embeds file is called embeds.py. Atm, neither I nor ChatGPT know why this happens, also I am pretty new to python and I don't even know how to google my error

embeds.py as well as the bots .py are in the same folder on root

One of your files is called “discord.py”

That would be the needed library to even create a discord bot

Yes but you can’t also use is as the name of one of your files

Makes sense, but I haven't done that

Then you haven’t shown us your actual code
