Keeping Python Turtle Graphics window open Follow

Hi Alexis

I'm also just beginning to learn Python and at 70 years old.I have been using the Python IDLE and was surprised to see when using PyCharm that the turtle screen rapidly disappear when the script finished. I work around this by adding two lines of script at the end

import time

time.sleep()

Just put in the delay in seconds within the brackets, I hope this helps, I've no doubt there's a better way.

I got a solution on stackoverflow somewhere (lost the link)... but the person asked me to add

Tkinter.mainloop()

and it worked.

import turtle
import Tkinter


fred = turtle.Pen()
fred.shape("turtle")
fred.forward(100)
fred.circle(100)
fred.color("blue")
fred.circle(-100)
fred.forward(100)
Tkinter.mainloop()

After you write your code you need to type.

turtle.done()

It will keep the window up for as long as you like.
