<p class="MsoNormal">Hi python experts,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I am teaching python turtle graphics now and in class, most
students have been successful using it. However, several students today got the
same error message complaining about “module does not exist”. If
they run the same code in the shell (I am using version 3.3), it works just
fine. But the second they copy the code into the code editor window (file), it
fails with that error. Then I thought maybe it is because the file is saved on
the school network under the student’s “My Documents” set up
on the server side.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I copied the file to the desktop and test it from there
but that failed too. <b>I eventually copied the file to the python directory
(c:\python33) and that worked</b>.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So I guess the location of the file decided to act out just
for those few students… Other students using the same computers were
fine. Is there a way to make this work CONSISTENTLY for all users from
their own “My Documents” on the server? I would hate to make them
all save on the C drive, for backup issues and security issues (they can see
other people’s files there)…<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this is a simple fix!! Please let me know…<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
