New Way of Rotating in MediaComp Python
Rich LeBlanc of Southern Catholic College sent the below code and PowerPoint slides as a better and cleaner way to talking about rotation than what's in the Python book.

# This is the version from the book (Recipe 29) that
# simply swithches targetX and targetY in the call to
# setColor to accomplish the rotation.
