Python: Passing Coordinates From Text File To Turtle

I have a test file that has coordinates on it my aim it to create a function that takes the text file and turns it into coordinates to plot in turtle to draw an image: river, 5 500

Solution 1:

This seems to be a random collection of code rather than a program. Below is my reconstruction of the intent of the program from the data and code. The data gets read into a list as follows:

[('river', '5'), (500, 500), (-500, 360), (400, 500), ('shadow', '4'), (500, 300), (5, 500), (300, 400)]

And then drawn as lines with turtle.

import turtle

turtle.setup(1000, 1000)

data = []

withopen('coordinates.txt') as my_file:
    for line in my_file:
        line = line.rstrip()

        if line:
            x, y = line.split(', ', maxsplit=1)

            try:
                data.append((int(x), int(y)))
            except ValueError:
                data.append((x, y))

print(data)

turtle.penup()

for pair in data:
    ifisinstance(pair[0], int):
        turtle.setpos(pair)
        turtle.pendown()
    else:
        print('Drawing {} ({})'.format(*pair))
        turtle.penup()

turtle.hideturtle()

turtle.done()

I can't say the example drawing is at all interesting:
