Martin v. Löwis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: I'd like to appeal that decision. That the turtle module is implemented in Tkinter is, well, an implementation detail. What matters to the end user is the turtle API, which has little to do with Tkinter (at least, the most high-level API doesn't).
I think it is a mistake to have the module in the tkinter package, hence I marked this bug release-critical, and would like to ask that this is reconsidered before rc2 (clearly, when 3.0 is released, this mistake cannot be corrected easily anymore). In considering this issue, please understand the target audience of the turtle module: children that just learn programming. I completely agree with Kirill (and also with Gregor Lingl, who complained about this also, but didn't follow up). For these people, stability of documentation is much more important than for trained programmers: when they get an import error, they consider all kinds of problems (such as them having mistyped things, or the computer being broken and the module being missing); the real cause (arbitrary renaming) doesn't come to their mind as the first thing. Attached is a patch that has the necessary changes. Guido, would you be willing to pronounce? ---------- assignee: brett.cannon -> gvanrossum keywords: +patch nosy: +glingl, gregorlingl, gvanrossum, loewis priority: -> release blocker resolution: rejected -> status: closed -> open Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file11529/turtle.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3884> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
