My example works with the standard Python 2.2.x provided you use a version 
that comes with Tkinter (most do including the standard Windows 
distribution). The easiest way to run it is to run the 'Idle' gui that also 
comes as part of the normal distribution.
The 'turtle' module is part of the standard library: almost everything in 
Python lives in a module and has to be imported before you can use it: even 
the cos and sin functions I used were imported from turtle (which in turn 
had imported them from math).
