turtle.Screen() not working - Jdawgg531 - May-04-2020

so in the python shell i imported turtle(I had tkinter installed don't worry) and then typed in the following:

wn = turtle.Screen()
when I hit enter, i got an error message:
Error:
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/turtle.py", line 3662, in Screen
    Turtle._screen = _Screen()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/turtle.py", line 3678, in __init__
    _Screen._root = self._root = _Root()
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/turtle.py", line 434, in __init__
    TK.Tk.__init__(self)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/tkinter/__init__.py", line 2261, in __init__
    self.tk = _tkinter.create(screenName, baseName, className, interactive, wantobjects, useTk, sync, use)
_tkinter.TclError: unknown color name "BACKGROUND"
i am using Manjaro on the raspberry pi 4 if that means anything.

If anyone can help me, that would be great Big Grin
