teacher need help!
[cid:116d034a-818f-4cfe-b051-5e19107197bb] Hello there, I am teaching a coding class to students grades 7-12. We have been using Python, which seems to be a perfect fit. Everything was going great until this week when I began teaching turtle. Suddenly, of the 13 computers that I have, 3 began giving the message on the above screen shot. This is a problem since I have 24 students! I have uninstalled and reinstalled and done all that I know to do. Any suggestions? Thank you in advance for your help, Geneva Geneva Storey Fulton High School Spanish, Mathematics Bulldog Academy -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Same issue! See attached. Thanks!

Or, copy it, rather than move it? It may be that for some students turtle.py is in a terrific place already. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: teacher need help!
Argh! I cannot find that file! I have deleted all files with Python or having the name turtle, and am in the process of reinstalling. Out of 13 computers, 10 are working perfectly and three give this error-so confused! I'll let you know how it goes.

Re: teacher need help!
Our technician will be here this morning to take a look. I'll let you know what we find.

[ Traceback show the same error coming from: c:\windows\system32\turtle.py ] This is a bit more tricky than it appears. If you're running on 64-bit Windows (which I can't tell from your screenshot) but your Python installation is 32-bit (which it is) then the folder which Python sees as "c:\windows\system32" is not the same folder which the normal Windows Explorer sees as "c:\windows\system32". Can you try going to this folder in Explorer: C:\windows\SysWOW64 and see if there's a turtle.py file there? If there is, move or delete it and try again. If that still doesn't work, can you tell us which version of Windows you're running, and whether it's 32 or 64-bit, please?

Re: teacher need help!
FYI-We formatted the machines, reinstalling everything, including Python. I works with no problems now. Confusing that this would happen on 3 out of 13 machines. Just letting you know, all is well.

Re: teacher need help!
I am having the same problem that we experienced earlier (see below). This student was exploring random numbers in Python. She named her program random which caused confusion for her computer. We deleted the file, but still had the problem. I removed Python from the machine. When I tried to reinstall, I got the attached error message. Now it won't even install. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
