Hi all, I'm planning on playing turtle with my daughter tomorrow and figured I should look into how to get going before I do so. It took me far longer than it should have to figure out how to do the most basic thing: from an interactive prompt (or elsewhere!) get the turtle window up and have a controllable turtle. In the end I just guessed and created a Turtle and it worked - though I still struggle to see where this is mentioned in the docs. I believe the docs would benefit greatly from a simple example right at the top like: """ The easiest method of getting started is to open an interactive prompt and type:

...

...

from turtle import * turtle = Turtle() turtle.pendown() turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.left(90) turtle.forward(100) turtle.penup()
