(Naturally) I'm very interested in making xturtle pupular. I did it because I'm convinced that it could help popularize (is this an English word?) Python in the educational arena as well as make life of the educators a bit easier (and funnier (- in the sens of 'Have fun!')).

One could use 'oldTurtleDemo.py' for this (now that gets imported). I'll think about it and perhaps I'll have some ideas to make it more funny .... I'll do a proposal. (I'm glad, that all of you expressed, that you like xturtle much!)
