yes OK.

PythonTurtle, as you say is one part Edgar Rice Borroughs, one part epic
myth, like something right out of the HongKong saturday afternoon movies I
use see here in New York's Chinatown. Sadly the theaters have all closed
now. Everyone's watching them from plush couchesat home on their DVDs
projected on oversized screens.

It would make a very funny animation - the story of the Turtle who turns
into Python when he needs to.
Else a python who pretends to be a turtle. else...

Reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon I saw today - A hare is waving to a
tortoise from the back seat of his chauffer driven limo which is speeding
by..
