run from Python3 text editor

[ryanb]

Hello,
i cannot run my script from Python3 text editor.

i have saved the following turtle loop2.py :

import turtle
alex = turtle.Turtle()
alex.shape("turtle")

for aColor in ["red","blue","red","blue","black"] :
    alex.color(aColor)    
    alex.forward(100)
    alex.left(72)

and python3 shells reads the following:

Error:
================ RESTART: /home/pi/Documents/turlte loop2.py ================
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/pi/Documents/turlte loop2.py", line 2, in <module>
    import turtle
  File "/home/pi/Documents/turtle.py", line 2, in <module>
    t = turtle.Turtle()
AttributeError: module 'turtle' has no attribute 'Turtle'
>>>

It looks you have another file in the same folder that is named turtle.py. rename it to something else because it overshadow the turtle module you want to use
