GitPython - Getting Untracked Files

Question

The GitPython tutorial mentions the attribute untracked_files as the way to get the array of untracked files of a particular git repository.

However referring to this attribute results in the following error.

AttributeError: 'Repo' object has no attribute 'untracked_files'

What is the method in GitPython to get the list of untracked files?
