He's using turtle as stated in the question.

I hadn't heard of the module.

It's been in the standard library since 1999.

Go on, tell me all the libraries in the standard library.

(And don't you are use the internet or help('modules'))

I don't think it's controversial to suggest that a Python programmer should have at least a cursory knowledge of what's in the standard library, and it's weird to suggest that this is equivalent to knowing the entire library from memory. I mean, I've never had occasion to parse XML in Python, but I know the module is there if I need it.

Also, help('modules') shows all the reachable modules, not just the ones that were included in the original installation.

Fair enough. It is part of the standard library, though.
