New submission from Kirill Simonov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I wonder why the module 'turtle' was moved to the 'tkinter' package. It is not a part of Tk, it does not provide new or extend existing tkinter API. While it uses tkinter, so do pydoc or idle; this is just an implementation detail. If some day a new GUI library replaces tkinter in the standard Python library, turtle's interface will not have to be changed, only the implementation. Moreover this change unnecessarily breaks all existing demos and tutorials that use turtle. Why do this if it does not give any substantial benefits? Finally, 'import turtle' is easier than 'from tkinter import turtle' for complete newbies in programming, who are the primary users of this module.
So I propose to keep turtle a top-level module as it was in Python 1 and 2. ---------- components: Library (Lib) messages: 73311 nosy: kirill_simonov severity: normal status: open title: turtle in the tkinter package? type: feature request versions: Python 3.0 _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3884> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
