machine (so another OS is not an option). I can't get TurtleWorld
to run
as described in the book
(http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/book005.html).
I know nothing of TurtleWorld but...
from TurtleWorld import *
TurtleWorld()
<TurtleWorld.TurtleWorld instance at 0x00C4C968>
No new window appears, or if it appears, it closes nearly
instantaneously.
Thats what I'd expect...
bob = Turtle()
A new but empty window appears, titled "TurtleWorld (Not
Responding)"
Thats also what I'd expect since you have created a turtle but not
drawn anything yet.
Check the methjods, you may need to make the turtle visible,
put the pen down, and move it around a bit.
If pen down is default(it usually is) try doing
bob.forward(50)
Does that do anything?
Presumably thre are some drawing examples in the book...

Opening and running the TurtleWorld module through the Idle GUI menu
produces a functioning TurtleWorld window, but this is not useful
for the
purposes of the exercises.
This is probably more of an Idle/Windows issue than a python issue,
but I
won't be able to get through Think Python unless I resolve it. Does
anyone
have an answer?
Thanks!
Oliver
