RUR: a Python Learning Environment is a successor of Karel the Robot,
PyRobot and Guido van Robot. Its purpose is to provide an environment
for beginners, including children, to learn python.
(Note that Guido van Robot still exists and has been upgraded recently.)

Do you have significantly faster solutions?
How about pygame, This takes about 2 seconds on my system,
