GUI does not appear when running python code with VSCode and Pycharm

Question

I was trying to write some python code, inside my code I imported the turtle module and when I ran my code on VSCode I expected to see a GUI window but instead I got the following errors:

And besides that I get a Problem Report for Python showing up:

This is what my code looks like:

import turtle

my_turtle = turtle.Turtle()

my_turtle.shape("turtle")
my_turtle.color("red")
my_turtle.forward(100)

screen = turtle.Screen()
screen.exitonclick()

My macOS version is 11.1 btw.

Answer 1

Correct me if I'm wrong but apparently Python 2.7.16 does not support the Turtle module, so I switched my python version to 3.9.1 on the terminal and when I ran python main.py the GUI finally appeared.

I used the following command to switch python versions on my terminal:

alias python="python3"

Although I have solved this problem on my terminal, I have yet to see a way to change the python version on VSCode.

Answer 2

Perhaps you should install python 3.9.1 directly into your machine, so you don't worry about it.
