>>> Pynguin is a python-based turtle graphics application.
>>> http://pynguin.googlecode.com/
>> I wonder why Pynguin does not get more traction in the teaching sector.
>> Looks ideal for teaching kids.
> I suggest that it's because Pynguin is not yet fully operational.
> I don't know where to report problems.
Go to the home page and click on "Issues"
You can also email me directly. I appreciate any feedback.
> The problems I had were installing for Python 3.3 and 2.7, using win32
> it seem as though the code is tied with 3.3
>>> Pynguin is tested with Python 3.2.3 and PyQt 4.9.3
For anyone struggling with installing on Windows, please see:
https://code.google.com/p/pynguin/wiki/InstallingPynguinOnWindows
I realize it is not simple to install on Windows, especially for the
target audience, beginners. I have an open issue "Difficult to start
the program on Windows" which could use more attention.
The simplest way forward is to use Portable Python 2 and use
the 0.12 version of Pynguin (the last one to support Python 2)
It is also possible to run the latest version (0.14) on Portable
Python 3 but it takes some experience to get PyQt installed
in the right place.
