[issue23073] Broken turtle example in Cmd documentation
New submission from bbc:
The documentation page for the cmd module contains an example with the turtle module:
https://docs.python.org/3.4/library/cmd.html#cmd-example
It seems like the turtle module has changed quite a bit since the code was written, and exposes a Pen class instead of all the various movement functions. The example, while still useful, cannot be executed as is.
I like the example and would be happy to provide an idiomatic replacement if you think this is necessary.

Please do! Working examples are better than non-working ones. :)

It turns out the script is fine. I could have investigated it more thoroughly at first if I had more carefully read the docs for turtle.
I thought those functions were not exposed because they were reportedly not found after I copy-pasted, executed the example script and entered commands. The reason was my file was named turtle.py.
Sorry for the noise.
