turtle.py is cute, and requires Tkinter:

>>> import turtle
>>> t = turtle.Pen()
>>> t.down()
>>> t.forward(10)
>>> t.right(45)
>>> t.forward(35)
>>> for i in range(4):
...    t.forward(50) ; t.right(90)
...

When you say you'd like pixel graphics, what do you mean?  Just
setting elements of a 2D pixel array to various colours?  Maybe
something for that could be built on top of Tkinter, too.

Ace, I'm getting too old for this sort of thing. He's all yours from
now on... I'm going home to Doris.
