[Tutor] nominees please

Hello!

I have a problem with this nomination, specifically on the basis of a type
mismatch.  Rob asked:

And posts are related to posters, but they are not the same kind of thing.
*grin*


Seriously though: it might be more worthwhile to nominate outstanding
threads, rather than individual posts!  Much of the power of Tutor is not
in single posts or posters, but in the groups of messages of a thread.


I really liked the thread when we were talking about putting the prime
numbers in a spiral.

... even though it wasn't really related to Python.  *grin* While I was
searching for it, I ran into:

and

There's some cool math there!  Does anyone want to try writing that Prime
Number Spiral program in Tkinter?


Best of wishes!
