I am on my ipad and i just bought pythonista. I wanted to create something in turtle but i kept on getting the error: module ‘turtle’ has no attribute ‘Screen’
The code:

import turtle as t
playerAscore=0
playerBscore=0

window = t.Screen()
window.title("pong ping")
window.bgcolor("black")
window.setup(width=800,height=600)
window.tracer(0)

I am aware this turtle module is possibly old or unfinished but if there is anything i can do please let me know.a

Add

window.present()

Whereabouts should i add that?

At the end.

Same error happens

@oDuty For me, that works. Sure you don't have another turtle.py somewhere?

As a check:

import turtle
print(turtle.__file__)

@cvp I’m new to this, what do you mean exactly?

@oDuty Assume you have written a script named turtle.py, the import turtle you do would import your own script, not the standard one. That's why @JonB advices you to run his little script to see where resides the imported turtle. Try his little script and post the result.

Add those two lines to the top of the script. Copy the result and paste here.

a common problem is that you created a file called turtle.py where you intended to try out the turtle module. But when you type import turtle, it imports your file, not the actual turtle module.

@JonB sorry, didn't know you were there...

so how do we fix the file turtle.py problem

@Maz don't name your script turtle.py, unless you intend to replace the built in turtle module.
