The first thing we need to do is import the turtle library:

import turtle

We then need to create a turtle object, which we conventionally call “t”:

t = turtle.Pen()

If you want, you can change the shape to an “arrow”, “turtle”, “circle”, “square”, “triangle”, or “classic”. The default shape is “classic”.

t.shape("triangle")

If we run a program with these two commands we might find that the window closes immediately, so let’s prevent that by adding the command:

turtle.exitonclick()
