I think implementing swimming turtles within VPython, using pure Python modules and syntax, is a viable approach. I might just use IPython as a command line shell, and have kids instantiate and instruct their turtles from there. VPython would be the view. Modules (perhaps organized in an __init__ package) would supply the model (command line is controller).
