"Packaging" the code IS copying the code.

Hello Matthew,
Although, its not for Graphics, I have noticed that
http://www.pythontutor.com is a good place that can come in handy for
students who are new to programming.
It gives a graphical view of how memory is allocated for variables and how
functions are invoked in a program.
I have seen

I don't want to start (and continue) another sideways discussion. Alan and
Steven (not Stephen) both made very good points and helped clarify my
understanding.
I am NOT advocating copying code. Not even "free" code.
I am saying there may be times you want to package the code for special
purposes.
I've liked turtle and make my graphing more interesting by asking for user
input such as dimensions, then graph automatically.
One starter source for using pygame graphics is

It jumps into game writing very quickly, but provides explanations of
commands.

Avi,
Why do you keep changing the subject line? You started a new thread
about "borrowing" (copying) code, people responded to that thread, and
you've immediately changed the subject to "Copyleft" even though you
talk about much more than copyleft licences.
(You barely mention copyleft at all

Have you considered the turtle module.
Its limited to drawing shapes but does give some immediate results.
You can of course create functions to draw more sophisticated
Hi All,
We're using Python with our Year 9 and 10 students to teach programming.
I've started with basic console programming...doing simple games like a
quiz game etc.
Students always seem to like 'graphics'..one of the reasons things like
'Scratch' are so popular in schools is because of the re
Thank you Adam.
I am currently going through the book, 'A Byte of Python' - found here -
https://python.swaroopch.com.
On pages 29-30 it writes about 'Using A Source File', creating a file
called '/tmp/py' on a Mac OS using the 'bash-terminal' and running the
saved PyCharm file, 'hello.py'. I type
Alan,
Just a reminder. I am NOT suggesting the first way to solve a problem is what I
described. I am saying that sometimes a roadblock (real or imagined) can be
gotten around using methods like that.
