Why can't i install cTurtle on my Ubuntu version of python?
Please support our Python advertiser: Programming Forums - DaniWeb Sister Site

in Vista, cTurtle worked like a charm, but in Ubuntu, when i downloaded the cTurtle to my desktop and moved it to site-packages, it still won't work.
When i clicked on the downloaded cTurtle.py file, what i get is a text file with chinese characters, and it closes within a second.
Help would be great appriciated.

Forget cTurtle and use the regular module turtle that comes with Python. Also, I think cTurtle is written with Python3 in mind and is not well tested.
May 'the Google' be with you!

Where is the cTurtle website? Do they have a .tar.gz source distribution? If they do try downloading, untarring and running
python setup.py install . Also, make sure that you are running the correct version of python for the version of cTurtle that your are trying to use. •

Works fine on my Ubuntu machine. I copied the Python25/26 source from the webpage and saved it as cTurtle.py in my working directory. The module has a number of demos built in that look great and work well. I used the IDLE IDE, my normal IDE DrPython bitched about a foreign character somewhere and went on strike as usual.
