Hi, I'm trying to use the turtle module in PythonAnywhere but got problems about the DISPLAY variable. I guess using this module over the web is not possible, or is it? Thanks for any suggestions.

you're right- using turtle wouldn't be possible. sorry about that!

Will this ever be changed?

Not anytime soon, no. We sometimes send people to our friends at http://trinket.io/?

*(see our general help page on tkinter)

i have a problem with turtle module. Python 3.8.0 (default, Nov 14 2019, 22:29:45) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

import turtle def carre(t): ... for i in range(4): ... t.fd(100) ... t.lt(90) ...

bob = turtle.Turtle() Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> File "/usr/lib/python3.8/turtle.py", line 3812, in init Turtle._screen = Screen() 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: no display name and no $DISPLAY environment variablePython 3.8.0 (default, Nov 14 2019, 22:29:45) [GCC 5.4.0 20160609] on linux Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. import turtle def carre(t): ... for i in range(4): ... t.fd(100) ... t.lt(90) ...

is anybody have a solution? thanks

Turtle graphics don't work on PythonAnywhere; like @harry suggested earlier, you might be able to use it at http://trinket.io/.

you could also try repl.it
