Hi python experts,

I am teaching python turtle graphics now and in class, most students have been 
successful using it. However, several students today got the same error message 
complaining about "module does not exist". If they run the same code in the 
shell (I am using version 3.3), it works just fine. But the second they copy 
the code into the code editor window (file), it fails with that error. Then I 
thought maybe it is because the file is saved on the school network under the 
student's "My Documents" set up on the server side.

So I copied the file to the desktop and test it from there but that failed too. 
I eventually copied the file to the python directory (c:\python33) and that 
worked.

So I guess the location of the file decided to act out just for those few 
students... Other students using the same computers were fine.  Is there a way 
to make this work CONSISTENTLY for all users from their own "My Documents" on 
the server? I would hate to make them all save on the C drive, for backup 
issues and security issues (they can see other people's files there)...

I hope this is a simple fix!! Please let me know...

Thank you,
