Attribute Error While Processing the Python (wxpython) Code

Question

Hey I Am Getting the error while processing this python code . Please Note that i am new to python . Thanks

Here is the code

import wx

class harry(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self,parent,id):
        wx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,'Frame aka Window', size=(300,200))
        panel=wx.Panel(self)

        box = wx.TestEntryDialog(None ,"Whats ur Name ?" ,"Title","default text")
        if box.showModal()==wx.Id_OK:
            answer=box.getValue()

if __name__=='__main__':
    app = wx.App(False)
    frame = harry(parent=None,id=-1)
    frame.Show()
    app.MainLoop()

The error i get is

 Traceback (most recent call last):
 File "C:\pybuck\pytuts9.py", line 14, in <module>
 frame = harry(parent=None,id=-1)
 File "C:\pybuck\pytuts9.py", line 8, in __init__
 box = wx.TestEntryDialog(None ,"Whats ur Name ?" ,"Title","default text")
 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TestEntryDialog'

My Motive Is to input the user to write its input ( like name ) in the window aka frame thats pops up ! Thanks , Harry

my computer is 64 bit but i downloaded 32 bit python ( 2.7) idle by mistake so to cope with that i am using wxpython with 32 bit ! is that the problem bro — Harry

No, the real problem is the one @nepix32 told you. You are mistaking Test for Text. I neither realize it when reading — joaquin

Maybe you are searching for wx.TextEntryDialog (as far as I know there is no wx.TestEntryDialog?

Edit: The Name of things in Python is case-sensitive! AttributeError is a nice way of python telling you: "Hey dude, what you searching for, does not exist!". You have the following possibilities to search for things which you think are there, but are not.

Read the manual for wx.Dialog
Use a GUI which supports Python and code completion (e. g. Eclipse + PyDev)
invoke dir(wx.TextEntryDialog)

All three will tell you to use ShowModal instead of showModal.

I Watched this tuts from here --> youtu.be/5SJO9dk9uOQ and wx.TextEntryDialog is working there fine in the tutorial. as far i think that is not the problem . though i can't full guarantee as i am new to python

@Harry you are not using TextEntryDialog but TestEntryDialog. Check your code

@joaquin thanks buddy for correcting silly mistake but the same error still occurs .... something else is the problem dude

@Harry edit you question with the correct wx method and the current error. Note that after correcting your mispelling you should not have the same error traceback
