No matter what I do, IDLE will not work...

Lemme preface this post by saying the following - I've taken my
computer to the local IT office on RIT campus, asked a Computer
Science professor specializing in Python, and posted my question on
answers.yahoo.com (I don't know why I expected that to work...). I've
also googled my problem multiple times and have not come up with
anything newer than about 4 years ago.
Okay, so the problem. I tried to install Python 2.7 about two months
ago on both my laptop and iMac. Both are running up-to-date Mac OS X
10.6, with 64-bit processors and around 2.4GHz speed and 2G of RAM. My
laptop installed python 2.7 and ran it perfectly, first time. My
desktop... not so much.
How to recreate the issue on iMac - try to open IDLE, or in terminal,
type the following:
python
import turtle
turtle.up()
This is what's displayed in terminal:
COMPUTERNAME:~ USER$ python
Python 2.7.2 (v2.7.2:8527427914a2, Jun 11 2011, 15:22:34)
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import turtle
>>> turtle.up()
CGColor with 1 components
Abort trap
COMPUTERNAME:~ USER$
It also pops up a Problem Report for Python
Python quit unexpectedly.
Click Reopen to open the application again. This report will be sent
to Apple automatically.

I have tried copying every framework possible from the laptop to the
iMac, done several reinstalls, and pretty much everything else I and
the IT people on campus could think of to no avail. I'm pretty close
to paying 20-30 bucks for a call to Apple and ask for help, because
I'm tired of programming on a 13-inch screen while my 20-inch desktop
is sitting right next to me just playing pandora...
P.S. To those who might say "just use your imac as another monitor!" I
can't. I've already asked Apple about that - the iMac is too old.
HELP!!!
