Solution 1:[1]

Ok, I faced this issue with python 3.10.4 and after searching I found two solutions for this problem because this problem not being only with turtle but for other libraries.

#Note: These solutions for downloading any library if you have a problem mentioned above.

So you could try this way:

pip install turtle==0.0.1

0.0.1 This is the last version of the library so you should find the version of the library that you want to install for this purpose, you can find the version of the library using this command:

pip show module <name_of_the_library>

another solution that could work is using --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures

Example:

pip install turtle --use-deprecated=backtrack-on-build-failures

Hope to help you.

It is already installed with python. Just use this code to import the module:

import turtle
# now you can start writing code
