[IPython-dev] Introducing IPython Turtle

[Wes Turner]

Awesome!

* https://github.com/macewanCMPT395/PACattack/blob/master/IPython/extensions/pacturtle.py
* https://github.com/jabowering/aspidites/blob/master/IPython/extensions/NewTurtle.py

Resources for Further Development:

* Packaging (setup.py, requirements.txt):
https://github.com/audreyr/cookiecutter-pypackage

* IPython Extensions: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/config/extensions/
  * Likely not necessary if there are not any requirements besides:
    * Having your *turtle module (usually lowercased module name,
uppercased ClassName) in sys.path (python -m site)
    * Having IPython (>= ...) installed (requirements.txt)

* Docstrings: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/sphinxcontrib-napoleon
(IPython is NumPy style)

* Reference Turtle Implementation:
  * https://docs.python.org/2/library/turtle.html
  * http://hg.python.org/cpython/file/tip/Lib/turtle.py
