Programming in Context uses cturtle, a slightly augmented version of an 
early version of my xturtle module. The additions proposed by Brad 
Miller have found their way into turtle.py. So turtle.py has definitely 
the full functionality needed in the book.

However there have been made some changes in the naming of certain 
functions/methods in order that turtle.py complies with the naming 
conventions for modules of the standard library, e. g. onClick -> 
onclick and things like this.

Anyway it should not only be possible but also  very  easy to adapt the 
programs of the book to run with turtle.py

The book has an appendix with a description of the API of cturtle, which 
can easily compared with Python's docs for the turtle module to find out 
which are the differences.

Gregor
