Yes, we (several of us on this list who use the turtle module in teaching) actually got several changes/enhancements to the turtle module added for Python 2.5. Earlier versions have a turtle module that is somewhat harder to work with, in my admittedly biased opinion. ;-) Cheers, Vern Ceder Jason R Briggs wrote:

Hi Ajith

I think the difference is probably Python 2.4 to Python 2.5 (which I was using). Pen() also works on Py2.5, so I think I'd better change to that.

Will also add while-loops as well. Good idea.

Thanks, J

Hello, Thanks Jason. Excellent material. I was looking for something to get people started in Python. By the way I use python for doing computer interfaced science experiments, a project named Phoenix <http://www.iuac.res.in/%7Eelab/phoenix/>.

t = turtle.Turtle() did not work on my Fedora core 3 machine. t= turtle.Pen() worked instead.

I felt it would have been better to mention while loop also in the chapter explaining for loops.

with regards
