Since Dennis has X-No-Archive set on his posts, his very useful answer to Nicolae will be lost in a matter of days.
So I'm going to repeat it. Nicolae, Dennis found the fix is to change the example code. Read the documentation here: http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/graphics/graphics.pdf Download and install this file: http://mcsp.wartburg.edu/zelle/python/graphics.py Change the example to this: import graphics as g win = g.GraphWin() rect = g.Rectangle(g.Point(5, 10), g.Point(20, 30)) rect.draw(win) win.getMouse() which should run now. Thanks Dennis for your hard work identifying this! Dennis has more comments as well which you should read, quoted below.
