'PorterStemmer' object has no attribute 'stemWords'

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
english_stemmer = PorterStemmer()
class StemmedTfidfVectorizer(TfidfVectorizer):
  def build_analyzer(self):
    analyzer = super(TfidfVectorizer, self).build_analyzer()
    return lambda doc: english_stemmer.stemWords(analyzer(doc))

I am new to python and I am having a problem when building my code. When I run the above code an error gets as given below:

return lambda doc: english_stemmer.stemWords(analyzer(doc)) AttributeError: 'PorterStemmer' object has no attribute 'stemWords'

Here is a small example :

from nltk.stem import PorterStemmer
stemmer = PorterStemmer()
print(stemmer.stem('Running'))

run
