Drawing with turtle(python) using PyCharm

Question

I'm running the latest PyCharm Pro version and trying to run the below code from a scratch file but it doesn't seem to work

import turtle

wn = turtle.Screen() 
alex = turtle.Turtle()
alex.forward(150)  
alex.left(90) 
alex.forward(75)

By not working I mean, no window is popping out however I do see in the output saying

Process finished with exit code 0

Any idea

1. If it can be done via PyCharm
2. What am I missing in terms of configuration

Cheers

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem. Turns out the solution is in the "turtle" module.

You want to end with

turtle.done()

or

turtle.exitonclick()

Enjoy!

Answer 2

I managed to find out a way of doing it by using the below code.

The only downside is that it does close the canvas once it finished.

def main():
    wn = turtle.Screen()  # creates a graphics window
    alex = turtle.Turtle()  # create a turtle named alex
    alex.forward(150)  # tell alex to move forward by 150 units
    alex.left(90)  # turn by 90 degrees
    alex.forward(75)  # complete the second side of a rectangle

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

If anyone has a different idea on how to not close the canvas that will be awesome.

Thanks,
