How can I import an image in Python Turtle?

Question

What I want, is to get an image to replace the default turtle, just like it is done here: http://blog.trinket.io/using-images-in-turtle-programs/ .

This is my code, but I don't know why it doesn't work:

import turtle

image = "C:/Python27/Pythonprogramming/image.png"
screen = turtle.Screen()

screen.addshape(image)
turtle.shape(image)

turtle.mainloop()

This is all in effort to make a turtle that's actions can be manipulated through Python code. I have searched all over the internet, but can't seem to find a solution.

Thanks in advance for any help!

The turtle graphics has support for .gif images only. Please try to change your image's format.

You can take screenshot of the pic and can convert/resize to .gif at ezgif.com.

Background:

win = turtle.Screen()
win.bgpic('background.gif') or whatever the file name in the directory.

Using Shapes:

win.register_shape('pic1.gif')
rocket = turtle.Turtle()
rocket.shape('pic1.gif')

Simple example game:

Trinket is a program for python! You have to type your code in trinket if you want that code to work!
