Trying to draw Kenyan flag colours in python, encountered name error?

Question

I thought trying to draw this thing in kenyan colours. Thought it would be simple and quick but ran into errors on the second line.

import turtle pen=turtle.Turtle() pen.speed('fastest')

When I take out the second line the error appears on the third line.

What am I doing wrong?

turtle.bgcolor('black')
col=('black','white','red','white','green')

That's what I'm trying to get to.

Answer 1

I've never used turtle myself, but after looking online I found this section of code which compiles:

from turtle import *

color('red', 'yellow')
begin_fill()
while True:
    forward(200)
    left(170)
    if abs(pos()) < 1:
        break
end_fill()
done()

From that I think your issue is how you are importing. Try importing turtle the same way as above, and then do:

color('black','white','red','white','green')

instead of

col=('black','white','red','white','green')

---Update-to-address-comments---

Looking at your code, let me know if I misinterpreted where white space should be.

from turtle import * 
pen=turtle.Turtle() 
pen.speed('fastest') 
turtle.bgcolor('black') 
color=('black','white','red','white','green')  
for i in range(1,200,2):   
    t.pencolor(col[i%4])   
    for x in range(0,10):     
        t.circle(i)     
        t.rt(50)      
turtle.done()

Your issue isn't the import it's the use of t. instead of pen. New code should look like this:

import turtle 
pen=turtle.Turtle() 
pen.speed('fastest') 
turtle.bgcolor('black') 
color=('black','white','red','white','green')  
for i in range(1,200,1):   
    pen.pencolor(color[i%4])   
    for x in range(0,10):     
        pen.circle(i)     
        pen.rt(50)      
turtle.done()

The colors don't seem to work though. I'll look into it a bit more in a few minutes.

note the for loop should iterate by 1 not 2 for the colors to switch properly.
