Pynguin is a python-based turtle graphics application. It combines an editor, interactive interpreter, and graphics display area.
It is meant to be an easy environment for introducing some programming concepts to beginning programmers. http://pynguin.googlecode.com/ This release has focused on improvements to usabilty and user-friendliness, with much input and many reports from actual users. Thanks Alec! There is a huge list of bug fixes and new features. Pynguin is tested with Python 2.6.5 and PyQt 4.7.2 and will use Pygments syntax highlighting if available. Pynguin is released under GPLv3.
