[issue12677] Turtle, fix right/left rotation orientation
by Senthil Kumaran Aug. 3, 2011

Aug. 3, 2011

Senthil Kumaran <senthil(a)uthcode.com> added the comment: The orientation depends upon the mode, which is explained further down. http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/turtle.html#turtle.left So, the correct fix would be: "would turn clockwise/counterclockwise depending upon the mode." ---------- nosy: +orsenthil _______________________________________ Python tracker <report(a)bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12677> _______________________________________

Turtle docs
by Michael L. Clapp Aug. 1, 2011

Aug. 1, 2011

Hi Just a small thing. On your web page: http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/turtle.html, at about the 4th line down it is stated "Give it the command turtle.left(25), and it rotates in-place 25 degrees clockwise."

Thank you Mike Clapp Hoosier Tool … [View More]

How to start IDLE?
by Křištof Želechovski Aug. 1, 2011

Aug. 1, 2011

The section 24.5.4.1. "Command line usage" says: > idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ... There is no ‘idle.py’, the command is ‘idle’. > If the script name is ‘-‘, no script is executed but an interactive Python session is started; the arguments are still available in sys.argv. { idle -; } waits for standard input. ___ [1] <URL: http://docs.python.org/py3k/library/idle.html#command-line-usage >
