Why does pygame not have a “K” attribute? [duplicate]

by

I was following a tutorial on pygame introduction, following his code exactly, but for some reason, when I got to the section which monitored key presses and moved the player accordingly, it claimed that pygame does not have ‘K’ attribute. Again, I triple checked that my code is exactly the same as his.

import pygame

pygame.init()

SCREEN_WIDTH = 800
SCREEN_HEIGHT = 600

screen = pygame.display.set_mode((SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT))

player = pygame.Rect((300, 250, 50, 50))

run = True
while run:

    pygame.draw.rect(screen, (255, 0, 0), player)

    key = pygame.key.get_pressed()
    if key[pygame.K.a] == True:   #Here, it claims that pygame does not have 'K' attribute
        player.move_ip(-1, 0)
    elif key[pygame.K.d] == True:
        player.move_ip(1, 0)
    elif key[pygame.K.w] == True:
        player.move_ip(0, 1)
    elif key[pygame.K.s] == True:
        player.move_ip(0, -1)

    for event in pygame.event.get():
        if event.type == pygame.QUIT:
            run = False

    pygame.display.update()

pygame.quit()
