def pin(x,y,char=None):

    # top-left is x-5, y-17

    points = [ (0,0), (-2,-6), (-5,-10), (-5,-14), (-2,-17), \

                      (2,-17), (5,-14), (5,-10), (2,-6)]

    c.polygon([(x+dx,y+dy) for dx,dy in points], 0, (255,119,107), 1)

    if char:

        c.text((x-2, y-7), unicode(char))

    else:

        c.point((x,y-12), 0, width=5)

Instead of adding a pin image to the program, this function
will draw a google map pin at point (x,y) instead.
If you give it a char, it will put that char in the middle of
the pin as well



pin(20,20,'A') # A in the pin

pin(40,40)  # just bull-eye
