What I would like to do is capture the

However, looking through the methods of turtle.Turtle(), I
can't find any means of capturing this information.
Similarly, I'd like to return with the pen in the same state
(up or down) as when my functions were called. Again, I can't
find any way to query the pen state.
How can my function get this information? Or do I need to be
sloppy and let the callers beware?
For the most part, this is what you want:
https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.pen
Just found the same thing myself and came back to report it. But,
immediately after your link is:
<https://docs.python.org/3/library/turtle.html#turtle.isdown>
which seems even better for up/down.
It doesn't seem to include the fullcircle state (which is what
.degrees() and .radians() set), and I'm not sure why. Worst case, it
is technically available as the ._fullcircle member, but I would
advise against using that if you can help it!
Well, I'll take your advice and not use it. Seems really sloppy to
change an attribute of an object as a side-effect, but I guess that
I'll have to be sloppy.
Thanks
