Python Turtle

This is how to use the Turtle extension in python.

Turtle is a visual extension for python, but its still python code, utilising the same python rules and syntax. Although the principles behind turtle graphics can be extended to include 3D space this page will be focusing on 2D graphics. Turtle is a pre installed python library however a pip install might be needed.

when first starting a new file, the turtle library must be called. There are two options for calling the turtle library.

    from turtle import *
# or
    from turtle import Turtle

The above not working?

If you see something like this error: No module named '_tkinter', go ahead and write this in your terminal:

sudo apt install python3-tkinter

Then you can call the turtle library.

I have made a python file.
I have imported from turtle.
