Have you tried searching for "Python programming by John Zelle 
graphics.py" on any of the major search engines, like Google, Yahoo or 
DuckDuckGo? That should always be your first stop for any question.

I believe that this will give you the file you are after:

No it doesn't.

If you're going to learn programming, you will need to be pedantic about 
reporting the *precise* error messages you get, and not paraphrase them. 
The error message you get is almost certainly something like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named graphics

(although the middle line is probably different).

Now in this case I knew what you meant, it wasn't terribly difficult to 
work that out. But believe me, there are people who come here, or on 
other mailing lists and help forums, and give utterly undecipherable, 
incomplete, or even incorrect error messages, and thus send us on a wild 
goose chase trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist.

Good luck and have fun!
