py5 Attribute errors could provide useful suggestions

[hx2A]

When I use git and mistype a command, it will guess at what I meant.

$ git stutas
git: 'stutas' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.

The most similar command is
        status
(py5) 21:25 jim@main ~/Projects/ITP/pythonprocessing/py5generator:$ git status
On branch splitsketch
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/splitsketch'.

nothing to commit, working tree clean

py5 could do this also. If my code includes py5.collor(100, 200, 300) it currently responds with AttributeError: py5 has no function or field named collor. What if it instead said it said AttributeError: py5 has no function or field named collor. Did you mean to type "color"?

Also look at http://norvig.com/spell-correct.html for a simple ago and the Python 3.10 feature for Attribute Errors https://docs.python.org/3.10/whatsnew/3.10.html#attributeerrors

@villares , I now have a working prototype for this. Here are a few example error messages:

py5 encountered an error in your code:

File "<ipython-input-6-b7441cc777da>", line 2, in setup
    1    def setup():
--> 2        c = py5.colorr(255)
    3        py5.background(c)
    ..................................................
     py5.colorr = # AttributeError
          py5 = <module 'py5' from '/Users/jim/INSTALL/anaconda3/envs/
           py5/lib/python3.8/site-packages/py5/__init__.py'>
    ..................................................

AttributeError: py5 has no function or field named "colorr". Did you mean "color"?

py5 encountered an error in your code:

File "<ipython-input-9-e740f3e4b3eb>", line 2, in draw
    1    def draw():
--> 2        py5.rect(py5.mouse_x, py5.mouse_z, 10, 10)
    ..................................................
     py5.mouse_x = 0
     py5.mouse_z = # AttributeError
          py5 = <module 'py5' from '/Users/jim/INSTALL/anaconda3/envs/
           py5/lib/python3.8/site-packages/py5/__init__.py'>
    ..................................................

AttributeError: py5 has no function or field named "mouse_z". Did you mean "mouse_x" or "mouse_y"?

This has been added to the Sketch class. I can easily add it to the others, such as Py5Graphics, Py5Image, Py5Shape, etc. This will be a helpful feature for beginners!

Almost ready to make this PR. It is in good shape, just need to do more testing to verify there are no more needed adjustments. This was harder than I thought it would be.

If you could ping me next weekend I could try building py5 like you instructed me before...

Sure thing! Do you mean this weekend or next weekend?

I just merged this PR so this feature is now a part of py5.

[villares]

I meant this weekend, but it will be a bit busy, so maybe next week or next weekend!

OK! I need to get a fix in for #254 before it makes sense for you to test. I believe I have a solution available, I just need time to test it.
