Since 'graphics' is not a standard part of Python can you tell
us where you are getting it from? Thee are at least 2 graphics
modules out there, probably more.

What does win.wait() do? Usually there is some kind of refresh() or 
update command to force a canvas to redraw itself. wait() sounds more 
like it just leaves the window in-situ until something closes it?

But without knowing anything about your library its hard to be sure.

You may have more luck finding an expert by contacting a forum for
your specific graphics package.
