Get tkinter.tclerror when closing python turtle before you finish drawing

I have a python script that draws a koch snowflake. Everything works fine, except when I close the tatle graphics window until the drawing is complete. I get a long error with this as the final line: tkinter.tclerror: invalid command name ".38006576". I think this is similar to java.swing: exit_on_close. This is not the default. However, I did not find something similar for the python turtle. Any suggestions on how to avoid this?
