[Tutor] Fwd: Fwd: : Turtle

[Hershel Millman]

Millman-Family-Admins-iMac-2:~ Hershel$ python
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67515, Jun 24 2010, 21:47:49) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin

>>> import turtle
>>> turtle.__file__
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/lib/python2.6/lib-tk/turtle.py'
>>> turtle.pendown
<function pendown at 0x10072bcf8>
>>> turtle.pendown()
>>> 

It seemed to work perfectly and do what it was supposed to. Is my problem then with PyCharm?

Thanks.
