"instead of (on a Mac)

$ cd /Applications/Python\ 2.6/Extras/Demo/turtle/
$ python turtleDemo.py

and I still cannot find where Apple decided to put Tools."

This has nothing to do with Apple.  "/Applications/Python x.y" is created by the python.org OS X installer, not supplied by Apple.  See Mac/BuildScript/build-installer.py for the details.  AFAIK, the Tools directory is currently not installed by the OS X installer.  Should it be?
