A couple of notes. One is that the state of the art in Python package
management is pip, not easy_install. It's still a command-line tool,
but I recommend sticking to that if possible.

Your command 'easy_install python graphics' attempts to install two
separate packages named 'python' and 'graphics'. The first package
seems to refer to the Python interpreter itself -- neat, I didn't
realize that Python itself was listed in PyPI. But probably not what
you were looking for, since running easy_install would tend to imply
that Python is already installed. The second page does not seem to
exist; there is no package named 'graphics' in PyPI. So I don't know
what it is that you believe you installed.
