Python3-pip wont install package

I tried to install the turtle-package for python3 via pip. But it just returns an error. I recently switched to xubuntu and I am not sure what to do. Any help??

pip install turtle

The output I get is:

It looks like the package you're downloading is broken. The maintainer of the project has probably abandoned the project. Are you sure that this is the package you want to be installing?

If you want to install the PythonTurtle package, then from the PyPI website the command to write is

pip install PythonTurtle

or

python3 -m pip install --user PythonTurtle
