Same issue!  See attached.

Can I suggest you find the turtle.py module in c:\windows\system32,
move it
to somewhere more suitable and try the code again?

This seems strange.  C:/Windows/System32 should only be writable by
admin users, and even they should have no reason to put random files
there.  It would certainly be bad practice.  There could be a screw-up
with some systems.  But we need much more info to say much.

See https://bugs.python.org/issue25450

The 3.5 Python and IDLE ICONS do not specify a start directory, so python start in c:\windows\system32 (even for a 64 bit install -- whether this is correct or a bug, I do not know). The solution is to add one. On Win 7, Start Menu, Python 3.5, right click, Properties, Shortcut, Start In: add the path to the executable (without python(w).exe at the end), which is in the Target line. BE CAREFUL TO NOT INADVERTENTLY EDIT/DELETE THE TARGET.

For Win 10, hides the property dialogs: no Start Menu, only a deformed 'All apps' list with entries that are NOT icons. Find Python35, Python/IDLE. Either click to run or right click, Pin to Taskbar. Either way, right click on the taskbar icon, right click again, select Properties, continue as above.

Fix two for a possible problem. Go to <homedir>/.idlerc/recent-files.lst. Edit and delete any bad entries. I cannot tell from the report here or tracker if this is needed. At worst, delete the file.
