Python Turtle AttributeError: 'Turtle' object has no attribute 'position'

Question

I have the following code to play with turtle within turtleworld:

>>> from swampy.TurtleWorld import *
>>> world = TurtleWorld()
>>> bob = Turtle()
>>> fd(bob, 100)
>>> bob.position()
>>> bob.reset()

There is no issue with executing the fd(bob, 100) line but when I try to check turtle position it returns AttributeError:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#13>", line 1, in <module>
    bob.position()
AttributeError: 'Turtle' object has no attribute 'position'

Why is this happening? What am I missing? I have read the documentation and it states that both position() and reset() methods should be available.

I'm not familiar with this library, but it looks like there is no such attribute indeed: github.com/AllenDowney/Swampy/blob/master/python3/… — Georgy

Thank you. As stated below by HKJeffer I have mixed turtle module with swampy.TurtleWorld's Turtle class. Thank you for the link, I need to read it. — halny

You may be mixing up the turtle module with swampy.TurtleWorld's Turtle class.

In the turtle module, there is indeed a position() method, however there isn't in swampy.TurtleWorld's Turtle class, as mentioned by @Georgy in the comments.

You can instead use bob.get_x() and bob.get_y() for its x, y coordinates.

Thank you, I just got lost at the beginning of my adventure with Python. It seems too many turtles around ;)
