[FIXED] AttributeError: module 'turtle' has no attribute 'screen' in spyder?

Issue

What's wrong with this code? I tried to run this code but in the output' AttributeError: module 'turtle' has no attribute 'screen' is shown:

import turtle

def draw_square():
    window = turtle.screen()
    window.bgcolor("red")

    brad = turtle.turtle()
    brad.forward(100)
    brad.right(90)
    brad.forward(100)
    brad.right(90)
    brad.forward(100)
    brad.right(90)
    brad.forward(100)
    brad.right(90)

    window.exitonclick()

draw_square()
turtle.done()
turtle.bye()

Solution

You have a few issues in your code. First, this:

window = turtle.screen()

should be this:

window = turtle.Screen()

Ditto here:

brad = turtle.turtle()

which should be:

brad = turtle.Turtle()

Finally, you have a redundancy here:

    window.exitonclick()

...
turtle.done()

As both exitonclick() and done() serve the same purpose but in different ways. Style-wise, I would setup your screen and turtle outside of draw_square() and just have that function do what it says it does, draw a square -- below is how I would go about writing this program:

from turtle import Screen, Turtle

def draw_square(turtle):

    for _ in range(4):
        turtle.forward(100)
        turtle.right(90)

window = Screen()
window.bgcolor("red")

brad = Turtle()

draw_square(brad)

window.exitonclick()
