So is turtle.py in /usr/lib/Python2.6/lib-tk ? It should be, according to
the python2.6 package manifest...

if not, maybe reinstalling the package would help. If that fails,
downloading the python source tarball and manually putting it there should
do the trick, assuming nothing else is missing. (and if IDLE runs, you
should be OK, Tkinter-wise).

Cheers,
Vern
