[Tutor] Fwd: : Turtle

[Hershel Millman]

What I typed was:

import turtle
turtle.pendown()

(And pendown was highlighted in pycharm, indicating that it was not a valid command.)

The error message I received was:

/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/bin/python2.5 "/Users/Hershel/PycharmProjects/Project 1/practicefornotturtle.py"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/Hershel/PycharmProjects/Project 1/practicefornotturtle.py", line 2, in <module>
    turtle.pendown()
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'pendown'

Process finished with exit code 1


Thank you,

Hershel
