[Edu-sig] IDLE wish (was Edu-sig Digest, Vol 31, Issue 16)

[Vern Ceder]

Art,

You've made your feelings about turtle.py abundantly clear. I would only 
suggest that (contrary to your implications) we benighted individuals 
who actually use the module in teaching and want improve it are also 
passionate, moral and even (perhaps) intelligent. Or at least we deserve 
the benefit of the doubt. ;)

However if our discussion of the module bothers you that much, I'm happy 
to move it to off of this list.

Cheers,
Vern Ceder
