As far as I am aware, there is not (nor has ever been) a standard module 
named 'graphics', nor is there a common third-party 'graphics' module. 
 There's a wide variety of packages available that can help with 
different sorts of graphics needs, from providing a graphical user 
interface (wxPython, Tkinter) to manipulating graphical image files 
(PIL) to graphing data (PyPlot).  Perhaps you can tell us more about 
what you're hoping to accomplish, and what led you to look for this 
"graphics" module...

(For the record, I didn't answer your previous question because, while 
I've certainly never heard of a "graphics" module, that doesn't mean it 
doesn't exist.  It's also possible that you're getting it from a 
tutorial or some such that includes a custom graphics module.  So I 
figured I'd wait and see if anyone else knew of anything...)
