Hello Dennis,
Sorry for my copy-paste error and thanks for highlighting the same. I will make
sure that from next time I will maintain the line breaks.
I tried opening it in CMD and it did open with the skewed triangle figure
although I am still not able to use it in my IDLE environment. Unfortunately, I
am not able to move ahead with my Python classes because of this, as it
specifically asks to import the module before proceeding. I saved the file in
tkinter folder now and receive the same problem,
>>> import graphicsTraceback (most recent call last): File "<pyshell#3>", line
>>> 1, in <module> import graphicsModuleNotFoundError: No module named
>>> 'graphics'
Location of the file - C:\Program Files (x86)\Lib\tkinter
Didn't work out.

In future, you might want to ensure your cut&paste and/or posting
client, maintains line breaks -- many of your pastes seem to "unwrap"
stuff...

... such as the above, which appears to have turned something like 7 lines
of output into one long string/paragraph.
My only suggestion is to drop OUT of IDLE or whatever, and open a
Windows command shell... and try running a script from that shell. I note
that this library makes use of Tkinter -- which is also used by IDLE. The
two uses may be causing complications. Going to a command shell avoids
that.

C:\Users\Wulfraed\Downloads>type testgraphics.py
import graphics
print(dir(graphics))
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Downloads>python testgraphics.py
['BAD_OPTION', 'Circle', 'DEFAULT_CONFIG', 'Entry', 'GraphWin',
'GraphicsError', 'GraphicsObject', 'Image', 'Line', 'OBJ_ALREADY_DRAWN',

Heck... from the command shell, navigate to the directory in which you
saved graphics.py and enter
-=-=-
C:\Users\Wulfraed\Downloads>python graphics.py
-=-=-
On my system, that pops up a small window with skewed triangle, some
text, and a grey input field.
