Thanks omz for making Pythonista. Really impressive app!

Hi all. I'm new here, but haven't seen this question asked, so I guess I'll be the first:

Is there any way to use the turtle (http://docs.python.org/2/library/turtle.html) module in pythonista?

If not, any suggestions on the next best thing? I noticed the canvas module, but it seems less for education and more for production. I'm after turtle more for its educational value for new programmers than anything else.

TIA.

No, it wouldn't be possible to use the turtle module in Pythonista because it relies on Tkinter. The next best thing would probably be to write a turtle-like wrapper around the canvas module, which shouldn't be too hard, but would be quite a lot of work, given how many methods the Turtle class has...

I've made a very basic turtle module that uses the canvas module for drawing:

When you run it as a script, you get a nice snowflake. Have fun!

Nice. Thanks omz.

Thanks, I was looking for the same exact thing.

Would it be possible to change the Turtle's shape??
