He is also a Blender guy, and, I'm told, an artist. It no longer surprises me that there has been no public response to Stani's post. Since Guido stopped his personal development efforts, IDLE seems to have become the Phone Company's IDE, Anti-Agile to an extreme. One argument against an "official" turtle.py module, is that it will be the Phone Company's Turtle, and the forces of agility and merit will be lost. To me it is better if folks wanting a serious turtle graphics implementation expect to look for it outside the standard distribution. I am perfectly aware that my approach to these discussion is not likely to get me liked. Kirby, we know, is weird ;). But if I had no passion around the issues that arise, it would be easy enough to approach the discussions otherwise. Probably my approach is Anti-Effective - so the "serious" discussion is perceived to be the one that is held without any overt passion. Too bad.
