According to:    http://docs.python.org/library/turtle.html#demo-scripts,

the demo/turtle directory is in the *source* distribution.  Many Windows 
users don't get the source distro, they just get the windows install 
package.

Go to http://www.python.org/   and on the left side, find the link 
labeled  "source distribution"   Click on it, and you should be able to 
download   Python-2.6.2.tar.bz2  It's 10.6MB in size.
And inside that  tar.bz2 file, you'll find a directory  
Python-2.6.2\Demo\turtle
