module has no attribute to display

This is my code which draws a grid in a Pygame window which worked fine when I ran this on a PC in school. Now that I am trying to continue at home an error appears which I can't find a solution myself:

import sys, pygame
pygame.init()


white = (255, 255, 255)
black = (0,0,0)
orange = (255, 165,0)
green = (0,128, 0)
radius = 25
screen = pygame.display.set_mode((715,715))
screen.fill(white)
pygame.display.update()

    def grid():
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (60, 0), (60,715))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (360, 0), (360,715))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 65), (715, 65))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 130), (715, 130))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 195), (715, 195))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 260), (715, 260))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 325), (715, 325))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 390), (715, 390))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 455), (715, 455))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 520), (715, 520))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 585), (715, 585))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0, 650), (715, 650))
       pygame.draw.line(screen, (black), (0,715), (715, 715))
       pygame.display.update()
grid()
grid()

When I run this piece of code, I get an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Jack\Documents\Jack's Stuff\School\Year 10\Computer Science\Programs\Jack's Python programs\Useful programs\pygame_test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import sys, pygame
  File "C:\Users\Jack\Documents\Jack's Stuff\School\Year 10\Computer         Science\Programs\Jack's Python programs\Useful programs\pygame.py", line 11, in <module>
    screen = pygame.display.set_mode((715,715))
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'display'

What am I doing wrong with my code as I have tried several different things?

You're doing something quite unusual in your code. You are not instantiating a new object of type pygame. Instead you are running init manually on the module, then referencing the module directly. Presumably this is causing your error.

Try this instead

# rather than pygame.init()
game = pygame

# replace all future instances of "pygame" with "game"
game.display.update()

Module pygame in your cwd is getting picked up. Is that the one you need ?
