that's what I tried first, with no luck. I am on 2.6 on Mac OSX (Enthought
distribution). The following code:
import turtle
turtle.reset()
turtle.speed(0)
turtle.ondrag(turtle.goto)
turtle.pendown()
running it in ipython brings up a window, but clicking, dragging, or anything
like that doesn't move the turtle or draw anything. running it in just plain
python brings up the window, but it instantly closes. I added:
turtle.mainloop()
which keeps the window open, but the clicking or dragging still doesn't move
the turtle or update the window in any way.
