I am working through _Think Python_ in spare time at work on a Windows machine (so another OS is not an option). I can't get TurtleWorld to run as described in the book (http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/html/book005.html).
I'm replicating the issue described here: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/topic.asp?topic_id=481091 Using Windows XP, Idle v. 1.2.2, Python 2.5.2, Swampy 1.1. After adding Swampy to the modules path: >>> from TurtleWorld import * >>> TurtleWorld() <TurtleWorld.TurtleWorld instance at 0x00C4C968> No new window appears, or if it appears, it closes nearly instantaneously. >>> bob = Turtle() >>> A new but empty window appears, titled "TurtleWorld (Not Responding)" Opening and running the TurtleWorld module through the Idle GUI menu produces a functioning TurtleWorld window, but this is not useful for the purposes of the exercises. This is probably more of an Idle/Windows issue than a python issue, but I won't be able to get through Think Python unless I resolve it. Does anyone have an answer? Thanks!
