xturtle is not in universe repo - you can try compile from sources but i would advise against it (not for beginner). Try KTurtle instead.

Another option for programming language for a beginner (like turtle graphics) is GvR - robot, which uses mainstream language Python instead of esoteric logo (which you cannot use for anuything else beyond learning logo). Also in repository, with lessons.

drpython, kturtle, gvr - install via synaptic. Search, then install. Easy - just couple of clicks! You may need to enable universe repository for drpython, but IDLE is also decent Python IDE and is very simple (== less confusing IMHO).

All you need to do is to copy xturtle.py to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages.

i have tried that and my dr python still says that i havent the xturtle module installed on my pc when i do "from xturtle import *"
i do believe it is a "path" problem, any more ideias??

oops.. i happened to copy the entire folder only.. xturtle.py on site packages is the solution indeed....
thanks mates..
