Project description
Python Turtle
An educational environment for learning Python, suitable for beginners and children. Inspired by LOGO.

An Appealing Environment to Learn Python
PythonTurtle strives to provide the lowest-threshold way to learn Python. Students command an interactive Python shell (similar to the IDLE development environment) and use Python functions to move a turtle displayed on the screen.
An illustrated help screen introduces the student to the basics of Python programming while demonstrating how to move the turtle. Simplicity and a colorful visual appearance makes the learning environment more appealing to students.
